Comparison of supervised <i>versus</i> home-based exercise programs following platelet-rich plasma injections in knee osteoarthritis: clinical outcomes from quasi-experimental study
Both supervised and unsupervised exercise programs improved outcomes in knee OA patients following PRP injections; the supervised program showed greater pain relief, flexion ROM, and functional status. However, no significant difference was observed in knee extension ROM between the two groups.
