The Effect Of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field And Progressive Resistance Exercise On Knee Osteoarthritis

"The pulsed electromagnetic field treatment consist of 30 minutes pulsed electromagnetic field with 50 Hz pulses~The progressive resistance exercise training consist of 45 minutes of progressive resistance exercise protocol as the following:~The PRE session begun with warm-up exercises that included riding a stationary ergometer for 5 minutes followed by stretching exercises for the hamstrings, quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles. After this, subjects performed non-weight bearing (open chain) and weight bearing (closed chain) quadriceps exercises.~The amount of resistance and number of repetitions for each exercise are based on a modification of the daily adjustable progressive resistance exercise (DAPRE) program that was described by Knight eta al."
