Despite the past decade being dedicated to bone and joint disease, the incidence and prevalence rates of osteoarthritis continues to rise, and till date not curative treatment has been identified for the management of knee osteoarthritis. In terms of conservative management of knee osteoarthritis, pharmacological management has been the mainstay of treatment, however is associated with numerous adverse effects with prolonged use, and it is important to look into the non-pharmacological alternates for the management of knee osteoarthritis. Research has shown resistance exercise training to be the most effective non-pharmacological treatment option for the management of knee osteoarthritis, and the purpose of the current study is to determine if the addition of a non-pharmacological dietry supplement like creatine can amplify the beneficial effects of resistance exercise training in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
