Effects of isokinetic muscle strengthening on balance, proprioception, and physical function in bilateral knee osteoarthritis patients with moderate fall risk.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aims to assess the effects of isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises on balance, proprioception, and physical function in patients with moderate-to-severe knee osteoarthritis and moderate fall risk. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween November 2011 and December 2012, a total of 39 participants (30 females, 9 males; mean age 61.7±8.6 years; range, 18 to 79 years) with Grade 2 or 3 knee osteoarthritis according to the Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic grading system and moderate risk of fall with active knee pain were included in this study. All participants received isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises for six weeks. Pre-treatment quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength (peak torque and total work value) and quadriceps to hamstring muscle strength ratio at angular velocities of 60°/sec and 180°/sec, range of motion (ROM), average proprioceptive errors at 15-45° and 30-60°, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) subscale scores, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, and physical function tests results were compared with the post-treatment results. The correlations of pre- and post-treatment BBS and average proprioceptive error at 15-45° and 30-60° changes to other pre- and post-treatment clinical measurements changes were calculated.
resultsPost-treatment quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength at angular velocities of 60°/sec and 180°/sec and quadriceps to hamstring muscle strength ratios at angular velocity of 60°/sec, ROM, average proprioceptive errors at 15-45° and 30-60°, BBS scores, WOMAC subscale scores, VAS scores, and physical function tests significantly improved compared to the pre-treatment results (p<0.001). Statistically significant correlations were found between the pre- and post-treatment BBS score changes and pre- and post-treatment VAS (p=0.015), WOMAC-Pain (p=0.017), WOMAC-Physical Function (p=0.005) scores and Timed Up and Go Test (p=0.036) scores.
conclusionInclusion of isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises into the rehabilitation programs for the patients with knee osteoarthritis may improve the quality of life and contribute to the decreased risk of fall.
