The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of osteopathic manual therapy can influence the vascular supply to the knee, knee range of motion, balance and knee pain, in a group of subjects with knee osteoarthritis. It is also the objective of this study to determine if there is a difference between the osteopathic evaluation and the combination of an osteopathic evaluation and treatment.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Resistive Index (RI) | Ultrasonographic examination provides a non-invasive method to assess blood flow dynamics. The resistive index (RI), calculated from arterial blood flow velocities, reflects vascular resistance. The RI was calculated by dividing the peak systolic velocity (PSV) minus the end-diastolic velocity by the peak systolic velocity, and is cited frequently in the literature for measuring hemodynamics of peripheral vessels. | Participants attended one visit; The outcome measure (RI) was before and after an osteopathic session on the same day; The data collection of the 30 subjects took place between Jan to March 2010; each subject had outcomes measured on one day |

Thirty subjects between the age of 48 and 80 years with radiographic confirmed knee OA were recruited. All data collection took place at the School of Health Sciences Room 658 Bethune building on South park St in Halifax Nova Scotia between January and March of 2010.
