Abstract

the article provides an analytical review of effective physical therapy interventions for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) associated with traumatic injury or prosthetics. The feasibility of using the dual-task paradigm and kinesiotaping is substantiated. Based on the analysis of evidence-based sources, a comprehensive strategy for restoring function and improving the quality of life of patients is proposed.
