Abstract

Background: Programmes for therapeutic training have been built on functional stabilisation exercises and moist heat therapy techniques to lessen pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. whereas its contribution is limited to the clinical outcome of improving dynamic balance and reducing pain. The objective of this experimental investigation is to assess and synthesise the available data on the effectiveness of moist heat therapy and functional stabilisation exercises for knee osteoarthritis patients. Method: A total of 15 osteoarthritic knee participants were randomised into a single group. Functional stabilisation exercise and moist heat therapy are part of the 12-week treatment plan. To determine the level of discomfort and balance, the BBS and WOMAC tools are employed. Result: The group performed better in terms of dynamic balance and pain. In patients with knee osteoarthritis, all treatments improved knee mobility, function, and dynamic balance. Conclusion: Exercises for functional stabilisation and moist heat therapy enhance dynamic balance and lessen pain. Additionally, it delivered clinically important improvement.
