SUMMARY

Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative pathology that is characterized by structural changes in the joint, such as joint space narrowing, thickening of the joint capsule, and cartilage degeneration that encourages friction between the bone surfaces and causes pain, which is thought to be a major symptom of knee osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment focuses on reducing pain while also enhancing function and quality of life by resistant training and Home-based exercise, a time-effective and practical treatment option for people with chronic conditions. As the past literature states that home based trainings are cost and time effective, However there is deficient evidence regarding effectiveness of home based strength training in case of knee osteoarthritis. More evidence is therefore needed in this regard.
