@entity1 @entity626 @entity571 @entity353 @entity158
BACKGROUND:: The @entity571 Research Society International recommended that nonpharmacological methods include @entity1 education programs, @entity353 , coping strategies, and exercise programs for the management of @entity626 ( @entity571 ). However, neither systematic review nor meta-analysis has been published regarding the effectiveness of home exercise programs for the management of knee @entity571 . PURPOSE:: The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the evidence regarding the effect of home exercise programs with and without supervised clinic-based exercises in the management of knee @entity571 . METHODS:: We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, and PEDro for research articles published prior to September 2014 using the key words such as @entity158 , exercise, home exercise program, rehabilitation, supervised exercise program, and physiotherapy in combination with Medical Subject Headings " @entity571 knee." We selected randomized and case-controlled trials published in English language. To verify the quality of the selected studies, we applied the PEDro Scale. Two evaluators individually selected the studies based on titles, excluding those articles that were not related to the objectives of this review. One evaluator extracted data from the included studies. A second evaluator independently verified extracted data for accuracy. RESULTS:: A total of 31 studies were found in the search. Of these, 19 studies met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed. Seventeen of these 19 studies reached high methodological quality on the PEDro scale. Although the methods and home exercise program interventions varied widely in these studies, most found significant improvements in @entity158 and function in individuals with knee @entity571 . DISCUSSIONS:: The analysis indicated that both home exercise programs with and without supervised clinic-based exercises were beneficial in the management of knee @entity571 . CONCLUSIONS:: The large evidence of high-quality trials supports the effectiveness of home exercise programs with and without supervised clinic-based exercises in the rehabilitation of knee @entity571 . In addition, small but growing evidence supports the effectiveness of other types of exercise such as tai chi, balance, and proprioceptive training for individuals with knee @entity571 .
