Efficacy of Neuromuscular Training in Patients of Osteoarthritis Knee via Telerehabilitation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionOsteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a leading cause of pain and disability among adults, resulting in structural and functional compromise of synovial joints. Neuromuscular training (NMT) has demonstrated benefits in managing OA; however, its delivery through telerehabilitation remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of NMT delivered via telerehabilitation in patients with primary knee OA.
methodsThis interventional cohort study included 30 patients diagnosed with primary tibiofemoral OA at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) outpatient department (OPD) of a tertiary care center. NMT was demonstrated during the initial visit, and patients received a video link for home-based exercises. Telerehabilitation sessions were conducted once weekly for the first two weeks, followed by biweekly sessions for the next 10 weeks for a total duration of 12 weeks. Patients were instructed to perform daily NMT at home for at least 30 minutes. Outcome measures included pain (Visual Analog Scale (VAS)), functional status (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)), and physical performance (30-second Chair Sit-to-Stand Test (30s-CST), 40-meter Fast-Paced Walk Test (40m-FPWT), and 9-Step Stair-Climb Test (9-Step SCT)).
resultsSignificant improvements were observed in all parameters post intervention. Mean changes with 95% CIs were: VAS -40 (CI: -50 to -40), KOOS +21 (CI: 19.62 to 22.38), 30s-CST +3 (CI: 2 to 2), 40m-FPWT -0.29 (CI: 0.12 to 0.20), and 9-step SCT -3.75 (CI: -6.34 to -3.24).
conclusionNMT administered via telerehabilitation resulted in significant improvements in pain, functional ability, and physical performance in patients with knee OA. These findings support the implementation of telerehabilitation as an effective and accessible modality for delivering NMT in OA knee management.
