Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis, apart from affecting the physical conditions also affects the person’s mental health. There is a shortfall of undefined connection between disease severances and the reported pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis. Several forms of therapeutic and non-therapeutic interventions are used to treat patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, the selection of a right combination of therapeutic interventions is a challenge to practicing health professionals. The present study aims to find the therapeutic effects of yoga for knee osteoarthritis.
