Description
Farzaneh Saki's team presents a trial plan combining neuromuscular training with pain science teaching for knee arthritis in older women, in a 2026 paper. Knee arthritis burdens physical, mental, social, and economic life in older adults, especially postmenopausal women. Existing training programs often target single elements and neglect mental factors and pain science.
The proposed double-blind randomized trial will enroll 60 women aged 60 and older, comparing a full program covering core stability, balance, and leg strength plus pain science teaching against usual care. Outcomes center on pain, function, and fear of movement. The plan offers a testable integrated model for a prevalent condition.
