简要总结
The purpose of the study is to assess knee joint position sense, pain and dynamic balance in female with primary dysmenorrhea.
详细描述
Dysmenorrhea is a common condition that typically occurs on its own rather than as a result of pelvic disease. It affects between 50% and 90% of adolescent girls and women of reproductive age and is a major reason for missed days from school or work.
Among the various menstrual disturbances observed, dysmenorrhea was notably prevalent among adolescents and significantly impacted their daily activities. Early diagnosis and awareness of menstrual issues are crucial, as they not only emphasize the need for health education initiatives but also assist in selecting suitable treatments, thereby reducing the adverse effects of these disturbances on adolescents' lives.
However, there is a significant gap in the literature about the effect of Primary dysmenorrhea on knee joint position sense, pain and dynamic balance in young adult female So this study aims to investigate this effect and provide evidence based information in the field of physical therapy.

结局指标
主要结局
knee joint position sense
时间窗: at first and fourth menstrual days
using active knee position sense test by universal goniometer.
Overall Stability Index (OSI) . Antero-posterior stability index score (APSI) . Medio lateral stability index score (MLSI) . Over all stability index score (OASI)
时间窗: at first and fourth menstrual days
The Overall Stability Index (OSI) is the primary measure of dynamic postural control obtained from the balance assessment system. It reflects the standard deviation of the participant's sway from the platform's center across both the medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions. Higher OSI values indicate greater instability and poorer balance performance. As an integrated measure of sway variability, the OSI is considered the most comprehensive indicator of overall balance ability and is commonly used to evaluate changes in postural control in response to therapeutic interventions.
Medial-Lateral Stability Index (MLSI)
时间窗: at first and fourth menstrual days
The Medial-Lateral Stability Index (MLSI) quantifies the degree of side-to-side sway during balance testing. It represents the standard deviation of medial-lateral movement from the platform's center point, providing a directional measure of postural stability. Elevated MLSI scores reflect increased lateral instability, which may be associated with impaired neuromuscular control or deficits in weight-shifting ability. This variable is useful for identifying balance impairments that predominantly affect frontal plane stability.
Anterior-Posterior Stability Index (APSI)
时间窗: at first and fourth menstrual days
The Anterior-Posterior Stability Index (APSI) measures front-to-back sway during dynamic balance assessment. Calculated as the standard deviation of anterior-posterior deviations from the center of the platform, the APSI provides insight into sagittal plane stability. Higher APSI values indicate greater instability and reduced capacity to control forward and backward movements. This index is important for evaluating postural control related to gait, stepping, and activities requiring controlled anterior or posterior shifts in the center of gravity.
次要结局
- knee joint pain(at first and fourth menstrual days)
