简要总结
Background and purpose of study:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition causing cartilage loss, joint narrowing, and varus deformity, leading to iliotibial band (ITB) tightness, pain, and restricted mobility. Conventional treatments like stretching and strengthening offer relief, while emerging methods like vibration therapy and Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT) show promise. Vibration therapy reduces muscle tightness, whereas INIT combines ischemic compression, positional release, and isometric stretching. This study will compare the effectiveness of vibration therapy versus INIT on ITB tightness in knee OA using Ober’s Test, VAS, TUG, and WOMAC outcome measures.. The effectiveness of local vibration and integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique, is not well-established due to limited research. Hence, we intend to study and compare the effectiveness of these two techniques on ITB tightness in knee osteoarthritis
