简要总结
Approval is obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee. Patients will be selected based on inclusion criteria. Written Informed Consent will be taken from patients and basic demographic data will be collected. Pre-treatment assessment will be done for pain using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), for physical function using WOMAC scale and strength using isokinetic dynamometer.
Patients will be allocated randomly using computer based software into Group A or Group B. Group A – Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy+ Exercise for 3 weeks. Group B -Therapeutic ultrasound+ Exercises for 3 weeks. Post treatment Assessment will be done after 3 weeks for pain using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), for physical function using WOMAC scale and strength using isokinetic.Statistical analysis will be done after data collection.
