Abstract
Therapeutic exercise for knee osteoarthritis is recommended globally, based on more than 100 randomised, controlled trials documenting beneficial effects on pain and function. There are adverse effects of exercise and symptom exacerbations may occur in the first 4-6 weeks of an exercise programme, but will most often decline with time. If pain and function do not improve after a structured exercise program, other treatments must be considered. The effects of exercise decline over time, if regular exercise is not implemented in the daily life of the patient.
