Comparing selective and general hamstring stretching and strengthening for pain, disability, and quality of life in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis and varus deformity: A randomized clinical trial
Strengthening the lateral hamstring and stretching the medial hamstring muscles seem to be beneficial for reducing pain in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis and varus deformity. Attention to stabilization in frontal and horizontal planes in the knee joint might be better than simply evaluating the joint in the sagittal plane.
