简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Muscle Energy Technique (MET) in combination with conventional physiotherapy in reducing pain, improving range of motion and muscle strength in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. The study will be conducted as a single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) at the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP), Savar, Bangladesh. Forty participants diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be randomly allocated to either the experimental group (MET + conventional physiotherapy) or the control group (conventional physiotherapy alone). Outcome measures including pain intensity (NPRS), range of motion (ROM), muscle strength (Manual Muscle Testing) will be assessed at baseline and after 12 treatment sessions. The primary hypothesis is that MET combined with conventional therapy will result in greater improvements in pain, ROM and muscle strength compared to conventional therapy alone. The findings of this study could offer evidence for incorporating MET into rehabilitation protocols for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
