Effectiveness of balance training on pain and functional outcomes in knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a musculoskeletal disorder that causes pain and increasing loss of function, resulting in reduced proprioceptive accuracy and balance. Therefore, the goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of balance training on pain and functional outcomes in knee OA. "PubMed", "Scopus", "Web of Science", "Cochrane", and "Physiotherapy Evidence Database" were searched for studies conducted between January 2000 and December 2021.

Comparison of Single and Combined Treatment with Exercise Therapy and Collagen Supplementation on Early Knee Arthritis among Athletes-A Quasi-Randomized Trial.

Athletic injuries are commonly implicated in the development of early osteoarthritic (EOA) changes in the knee. These changes have a significant impact on athletic performance, and therefore the early detection of EOA is paramount. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of different interventions on individuals with EOA, particularly focusing on recreational athletes.

Hip abductor strengthening in patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Globally osteoarthritis of the knee is a leading cause of disability. Hip abductor strength and activation are essential for maintaining postural balance during transfers and are related to joint loading and progression during weight-bearing activities. Strength deficits in the hip abductors might cause a reduction in the lower extremity force generation, thereby causing stress on the medial tibiofemoral joint.

Investigation on the performance evaluation of vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland for the treatment of rural wastewater.

In a rural country like India, low cost and decentralized treatment units like the vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VSSF CW) can be reflected as a novel wastewater system. In this concern, a pilot-scale VSSF CW unit of size 0.92 m × 0.
