Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study purpose is to explore the effect of functional movement control for patients who have stage II or III degenerative knee joint disease and also physical inactive. Half of patients will receive aerobic exercise and functional movement control training in combination, while the other will simply receive aerobic exercise.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physical inactivity, which is a common phenomenon among patients with degenerative knee joint disease has been proved a predictor of increased symptoms and poor general health. However, changing the lifestyle of people with this disease who is physical inactive is still a problem which has not been solved. Knee pain may act as barrier to engage in physical activity and can influence patient's movement performance.

The different effectiveness between the aerobic exercise and functional movement control training.

Aerobic exercise has been proved could improve knee pain for the patients with degenerative knee joint disease.

The functional movement control training could improve knee alignment during walking and other functional activities to increase patient's movement awareness.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Aerobic exercise & movement control

The duration of intervention is 8 weeks.

* Individualized functional movement control training is 60 min/week
* Aerobic exercise is 60 min/week

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aerobic exercise & movement control

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The aerobic exercise content is no different between the experimental group and the active comparator group.

The movement control is individual training which divided into fourths progressing sessions.

* First, lumbo-pelvic and hip dynamic direction control.
* Second, trunk muscle groups, hip muscle groups and thigh muscle groups extensibility control.
* Third, trunk muscle groups and hip muscle groups through range control.
* Fourth, functional movement control training

Aerobic exercise

The duration of intervention is 8 weeks.

* Frequency: 2 times/ week
* Duration: 60min/ time

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Aerobic exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The aerobic exercise will organized in groups. Each group has 6-8 persons. The exercise form is fixed at each time.

The description of exercise form is as below:

* 10 min Warm up
* 40 min Aerobic exercise (which focus on lower extremity muscle strengthening and increasing muscle endurance)
* 10 min Cool down
