Comparative Effects Of Dynamic And Static Stretching In Postmenopausal Females With Knee Osteoarthritis

As the aging population continues to grow, there is a pressing need to explore effective interventions to alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis, particularly in postmenopausal women who may experience unique challenges. Osteoarthritis (OA) is progressive joint disease characterized by joint inflammation and a reparative bone response and is one of the top five most disabling conditions that affects more than one-third of persons \>65 years of age, commonly affecting hands, feet, spine, hips, and knees. Among the various therapeutic modalities, stretching exercises, both dynamic and static, have gained attention for their potential to enhance joint flexibility, reduce pain, and improve functional outcomes.
