Pedaling with feedback: a new way to help aging knees?
NCT ID NCT05836792
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a stationary bike with real-time feedback on pedaling force could improve deep sensation (like joint position and vibration sense) in 40 elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. Participants also received standard treatments like TENS and ultrasound. The goal was to see if this simple exercise approach could help them feel their knee position better and improve walking ability.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple exercise method to improve joint sensation and function in older adults with knee osteoarthritis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is exercise-based and unlikely to cause harm, but benefits may be modest.
