| Résumé : | Background Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are always faced with functional limitations in daily activities due to knee pain. They are also at risk of falling because of compensatory kinetics and kinematics changes in walking, which is why they are seeking complementary therapies to deal with their problems. Objective The present research aimed to evaluate whether Swedish massage is effective in relieving the symptoms of knee OA and improving the gait spatiotemporal parameters of patients with knee OA. Methods Thirty adult women with knee OA participated in this study voluntarily. The intervention group (n = 15) received Swedish massage on their quadriceps for 20?30 min per session (12 sessions). During this period, the control group (n = 15) received their regular treatment. Osteoarthritis symptoms were evaluated by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. The spatiotemporal parameters of gait were also captured by the motion analysis system during barefoot walking. Results The intervention group demonstrated significantly more pain relief and improved function compared to the control group. A significant increase was observed in the gait speed, total support time, and single support time (P |
