Objectivo: Determinar o papel da Fisioterapia, nomeadamente das técnicas de hidroterapia e actividade física em pacientes com osteoartrite do joelho. Metodologia: Pesquisa de estudos randomizados controlados que avaliem a efectividade da hidroterapia e actividade física em pacientes com osteoartrite do joelho nas bases de dados Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane Central, EBSCO, B-On e PEDro. Resultados: Foram incluídos 14 estudos randomizados controlados envolvendo 1363 pacientes, com classificação metodológica de 6,4 na escala de PEDro. Dos estudos incluídos, 5 avaliaram a Fisioterapia através da hidroterapia e 9 através da actividade física. Conclusão: A evidência consultada nesta revisão sistemática sugere que a Fisioterapia desempenha um papel preponderante no tratamento de osteoartrite do joelho, nomeadamente através da prática de hidroterapia e actividade física. Sugere-se de futuro o desenvolvimento de novos estudos no sentido de estudar os efeitos da Fisioterapia a longo prazo na osteoartrite do joelho através da combinação das técnicas hidroterapia e actividade física assim como de outras intervenções. Objective: To determine the role of physiotherapy in particular the techniques of hydrotherapy and physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methodology: Search randomized controlled trials to assess the effectiveness of hydrotherapy and physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis in databases Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane Central, EBSCO, B-On and PEDro. Results: Included 14 studies involving 1363 patients, with methodology classification of 6,4 on the PEDro scale. From the studies included, 5 evaluated the Physiotherapy through hydrotherapy and 9 through physical activity. Conclusion: The evidence found in this systematic review suggests that physiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, namely through hydrotherapy and physical activity. It is suggested for future development of new studies to study the effects of long-term physical therapy in knee osteoarthritis by combining techniques of hydrotherapy and physical activity as well as other interventions.
