SUMMARY:

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative and multifactorial disease that affects the entire joint structure and is closely linked to aging, mainly aging the knee joint. The limitations corrected by the regulations with knee OA have been related to proprioceptive changes. However, research evaluates ways to improve proprioceptive acuity and the anticipatory muscle response of this population. Objective: To investigate the effect of additional sensory information to a sensory motor training program, on the functionality of women with knee OA. Methodology: This is a pilot study of a randomized clinical trial, conducted with women diagnosed with knee OA. The volunteers were assessed for strength using a portable dynamometer, balance using the BERG balance scale, function using the WOMAC scale, functional capacity using the 6MWT and TUG test and global perception of change through the PGIC. 30 women were randomized into two intervention groups: Sensory motor training group (STM, n = 15) and Sensory motor training group with additional sensory information (STM with additional sensory information, n = 15). Corrections were made before and after the 10 combined intervention protocol. The kolmogorov-Smirnov and levene tests were mandatory to verify the normality and homogeneity of the sample. Intra and inter-group differences were calculated using ANOVA for mixed models. Results: we found significant intra-group differences in the results for the 6MWT and Berg's balance test. Thus, we observed improvements in functional capacity and balance in the TSM group. In the intergroup comparisons, no relevant changes were observed between the variables. Conclusion: STM in patients with knee OA appears to promote a change in outcome in balance and improve functional capacity, regardless of the application of additional sensory information.
