About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Osteoarthritis Knee focused on measuring Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF ), resistance exercise

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women;
  • Age between 50 and 80 years;
  • Clinical diagnosis of Osteoarthritis of knees ;
  • Patients with presence of at least 90 ° range of motion of knee flexion ;
  • Do not practitioners of physical exercise and physical therapy during the period of participation in the survey

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of other rheumatological and neurological diseases ;
  • orthopedic surgery History in the lower limbs ;
  • Individuals with muscle strength of the lower limbs <3 ;
