Neuromuscular exercise (NEMEX) programs are designed to improve sensorimotor control and functional joint stabilization. This study evaluated the effects of a NEMEX program on pain, range of motion, and quality of life in knee osteoarthritis patients. A repeated measure quasi\u2010experimental study with a control group was conducted at an outpatient orthopedic clinic. Sixty adult knee osteoarthritis patients were conveniently sampled, with 30 in the intervention group receiving the NEMEX program and 30 in the control group. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post\u2010intervention, and 2\u2010month follow\u2010up using the Knee Range of Motion Assessment, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and Knee Osteoarthritis Quality of Life Questionnaire. The general linear model (GLM) showed the intervention group had significant improvements in knee flexion (\n                    <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200944.106,\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b7<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.432), extension (\n                    <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200943.972,\n                    <jats:italic>\u03b7<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.431), and total range of motion (\n                    <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200969.411, \u03b7\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.545) compared to controls (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

These findings indicate that the NEMEX program effectively improved the range of motion, reduced pain, and enhanced quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, the effect on social functioning was more minor. The program appears to have positively impacted the physical and psychosocial aspects of the participants' health and well\u2010being. These findings support incorporating NEMEX into Knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation to enhance functionality, lower discomfort, improve patient outcomes, and improve the general QOL for those managing this illness.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/nhs.70120","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T19:13:55Z","timestamp":1745522035000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evaluating the Impact of a Nursing\u2010Led Neuromuscular Exercise Program on Pain, Range of Motion, and Quality of Life in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients: A Quasi\u2010Experimental Approach"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Shahera Shehata","family":"Harby","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Alexandria University  Alexandria Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6495-508X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mona Metwally","family":"El\u2010Sayed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Alexandria University  Alexandria Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7718-4942","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayman Mohamed","family":"El\u2010Ashry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, College of Applied Medical Sciences Jouf University  Al\u2010Qurayyat Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soheir Mohamed","family":"Weheida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Alexandria University  Alexandria Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mervat Abdel\u2010Hamid","family":"Hawash","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Alexandria University  Alexandria Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"El Saied Abd El Hamid El Sayed","family":"Salem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fitness, Gymnastics and Sports Shows, Faculty of Physical Education for Men, Abu Qir Alexandria University  Alexandria Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mona Abd\u2010Elmaksoud","family":"Mohamed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing Alexandria University  Alexandria Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.47750\/pnr.2022.13.S07.558"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471\u20102474\u201014\u2010232"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12955\u2010021\u201001741\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1780290816"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","first-page":"193","article-title":"Neuromuscular Exercises on Pain Intensity, Functional Disability, Proprioception, and Balance of Military Personnel With Chronic Low Back Pain","volume":"65","author":"Alvani E.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/2221\u20106189.272854"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.38317"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","volume-title":"Active Living Every Day","author":"Blair S.
