Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 12-wk, home-based, physiotherapist-guided neuromuscular exercise program on the knee adduction moment (an indicator of mediolateral knee load distribution) in people with a medial arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) within the past 3-12 months. Methods: An assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial including people age 30-50 yr with no to mild pain after medial APM was conducted. Participants were randomly allocated to either a 12-wk neuromuscular exercise program that targeted neutral lower limb alignment or a control group with no exercise. The exercise program included eight individual sessions with one of seven physiotherapist..
