Osteoarthritis is the 11th highest contributor to disability world wide. In terms of conservative management of patients with knee osteoarthritis, Resistance exercise has been shown to be an effective intervention for reducing pain and cartilage degeneration and improving muscle strength, joint biomechanics and physical functioning. But, research shows that co supplementation can further augment the effects of resistance exercise. However, it is imperative to point out that the existing evidence is majorly focused on the individual effects of resistance exercise training and non-pharmacological supplementation, and is still deficient in the effects of co-supplementation in addition to resistance exercise training in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
