The aim of this study is to examine the effects of whole body vibration therapy on knee osteoarthritis. While the participants did static exercise in one group, whole body vibration therapy was applied during static exercise in another group. As a result of 15 sessions of treatment in both groups, the effects on pain, muscle strength, balance and quality of life were compared.
