A manual physical therapy intervention for symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and associated fall risk: A case series of four patients.

DISCUSSION: We identified potential connections between symptom relief in patients with knee OA, stumble response, and ultimately fall risk. The results suggest that MPT intervention designed to improve the signs and symptoms of knee OA may lead to a secondary benefit of improved gait stability and stumble response.
