| Abstract |
Objective: To compare the effects of neuromuscular exercise (NEXA) and quadriceps strengthening (QS) on the knee adduction moment (an indicator of medio-lateral distribution of knee load), pain and physical function in people with medial knee joint osteoarthritis (OA) and varus malalignment. Methods: 100 people with medial knee pain, mostly moderate to severe radiographic medial knee OA, and varus malalignment were randomly allocated to one of two 12-week exercise programs. Each program involved 14 individually supervised exercise sessions with a physiotherapist plus a home exercise component. Primary outcomes were peak external knee adduction moment (3D gait analysis), pain (visual analogue scale), and self-reported physical function (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index). Results: 82 participants (38/50 (76%) NEXA, 44/50 (88%) QS) completed the trial. There was no significant between-group difference in the change in the peak knee adduction moment (mean difference (95% CI) 0.134 (-0.069 to 0.337) Nm/(BW.HT)%), pain (2.4 (-6.0 to 10.8) mm) or physical function (-0.8 (-4.0 to 2.4) units). Neither group showed a change in knee moments following exercise, whereas both groups showed similar significant reductions in pain and physical dysfunction. Conclusions: Although comparable improvements in clinical outcomes were found for both neuromuscular and quadriceps strengthening exercise in people with moderate varus malalignment and mostly moderate to severe medial knee OA, these forms of exercise did not affect the knee adduction moment, a key predictor of structural disease progression.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 October 2023.
All research outputs
#4,015,303
of 24,577,646 outputs
Outputs from Arthritis & Rheumatology
#1,111
of 2,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,919
of 229,948 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arthritis & Rheumatology
#20
of 114 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,577,646 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,967 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 21.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 229,948 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 114 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
