The aim of this study was to assess the effects of an 8-weeks hydrotherapy training with elastic bands on pain and functional disability in old people with knee osteoarthritis.', 'detailedDescription': "The main symptoms of knee osteoarthritis are pain and functional disability. These symptoms are caused by a progressive loss and deterioration of articular cartilage with reactive new bone formation at the joint's surface and margins involving articular cartilage, soft tissues and bone damage. Many treatment programs have been developed, including medication with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical modalities, and therapeutic exercises. It is hypothesized that a hydrotherapy treatment during 8 weeks would benefit patients with knee osteoarthritis."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '60 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* confirmed clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* total knee arthroplasty\n* inability to co-operate or follow instructions.\n* a major neurological disorder'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02048956', 'briefTitle': 'Hydrotherapy Intervention in Elderly With Knee Osteoarthritis', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Universidad de Granada'}, 'officialTitle': '8-weeks Hydrotherapy Intervention in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'DF0049UG'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Hydrotherapy intervention', 'description': '30 people will be recruited in order to the inclusion criteria for the study and they will receive an hydrotherapy intervention.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Hydrotherapy intervention']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Control group', 'description': '30 people will be recruited and included in this control group.
