Overview
Brief Summary
In this study compare different frequencies of whole body vibration training on physical function and muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Detailed Description
This randomized controlled trial is to compare different frequencies of whole-body vibration (WBV) training on physical function and quadriceps muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis and further will be researched which frequencies are effective for knee OA patients and how much WBV training is useful modality for knee osteoarthritic patients. This research will have significant effects in improving muscle strength and functional level of knee OA patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
1 Repetition maximum (1 RM)
Time Frame: 8 week
Changes from base line 1 RM measure muscle strength with maximum amount of weight that a person can possibly lift for one repetition
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
Time Frame: 8 week
Changes from base line WOMAC is a widely used self-administered health status measure used in assessing pain, stiffness, and function in patients with OA of hip and knee. It consists of 3 sections with the total score of 96
Secondary Outcomes
- 6 minute walk test(8 week)
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS)(8 week)
- Timed up and Go test (TUG)(8 week)
