Summary

To analyze the effects of therapeutic exercise combined with noninvasive neuromodulation (NESA) or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on improving clinical symptoms such as joint pain and stiffness, as well as its impact on the functionality, mental health, and quality of life of people over 60 years of age with knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteo Arthritis Knee

Interventions

OTHER

Therapeutic exercise and NESA VS. Therapeutic exercise and TENS

The study will include two treatment groups over an 8-week intervention. Group 1 will follow a therapeutic exercise program of 24 supervised sessions (three per week, 45-50 minutes each) combined with 24 sessions of non-invasive neuromodulation (NESA). Group 2 will perform the same therapeutic exercise program but combined with 24 sessions of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), also delivered three times per week for 45 minutes. The exercise program will include strength, power, balance, and proprioception training, with loads individualized according to pain tolerance, physical condition, clinical phase, and symptoms, and progressed gradually by adjusting repetitions, external load, or range of motion. All participants will be assessed before and after the intervention period, with results recorded systematically.
