Brief Summary

Osteoarthritis is a prevalent and disabling condition. Exercise is recommended to maintain strength and mobility, and to decrease pain. However, acute bouts of exercise have conflicting outcomes: they are fatiguing and they also can increase coordination and balance. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a single bout of exercise (30 minutes) on balance performance of individuals with self-identified unilateral knee osteoarthritis. Balance will be assessed using the star excursion balance test before and after the exercise session. Differences in performance between the two star excursion balance tests will reflect the changes due to exercise. The changes between their balance performance on each limb will reflect the changes due to osteoarthritis.

Conditions

Osteoarthritis; Osteo Arthritis Knee

Keywords

dynamic balance; star excursion balance test; exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• star excursion balance test

  standard test for assessing dynamic balance. Individuals stand on one limb and reach their other limb in each of eight directions (eg anterior, lateral, antero-lateral, etc) and the length of the reach is measured. The reach measurements are normalized by dividing by leg length.

  change in star excursion balance test after the 30 minute bout of exercise

Study Arms (2)

affected limb

EXPERIMENTAL

measurements of balance from the affected side of individuals with unilateral knee osteoarthritis following an exercise session

Other: exercise

unaffected limb

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

measurements of balance from the unaffected side of individuals with unilateral knee osteoarthritis following an exercise session

Other: exercise

Interventions

exercise OTHER

one 30 minute bout of mild exercise

affected limb; unaffected limb
