简要总结
BACKGROUND
According to estimates from the World Health Organization, 9.6% of men and 18% of women worldwide have symptomatic osteoarthritis in their older years. According to United Nations research, by 2050, over 20% of the world’s population will be over 60 years old.
Individuals with Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) experience pain and disability more frequently than any other chronic health condition. Although knee osteoarthritis is a complex condition, it usually consists of unified subgroups or phenotypes. Therapeutic exercise is strongly advised in addition to diet and pain medication as the initial course of treatment. OA knee pain is difficult to diagnose in primary care, and both patients and healthcare professionals may find it irritating that there isn’t a well-established biological model and stratified rehabilitation program to support the pain and guide first physical therapy choices.
They lack consideration of biological, psychological, and social interventions. We aimed to develop and validate an SRIHER knee pain screening and targeted therapy tool to identify prognostic indicators relevant to physical therapists’ clinical decision-making concerning initial treatment options in physiotherapy primary care. Also, to find the effectiveness of the SRIHER knee pain screening and targeted therapy tool on enhancing the outcomes among musculoskeletal knee pain individuals in physiotherapy primary care. There are minimal numbers of studies available globally with stratified rehabilitation programs addressing musculoskeletal knee pain and impairments. No study has been conducted with a randomized controlled trial design for a stratified knee rehabilitation program.
AIM OF THE STUDY
This study aims to develop a valid tool to screen, categorize, and deliver targeted therapy to individuals with musculoskeletal knee pain.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the SRIHER knee pain screening tool with targeted therapy on enhancing the outcomes among musculoskeletal knee pain individuals in physiotherapy primary care using physical function.
