WBV Training on Physical Function and Muscle Strength in Knee OA

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Knee Osteoarthritis
• Interventions: Other: Whole body vibration technique; Other: WBV technique

• Registration Number: NCT04496622
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
WBV Technique	Whole body vibration technique	WBV training with the frequency of 26-35 Hz along with conventional treatment.
Whole Body Vibration Technique	WBV technique	WBV training with the frequency of 16-25 Hz along with conventional treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1 Repetition maximum (1 RM)	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)	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
6 minute walk test	8 week	Changes from baseline 6 minute walk test measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)	8 week	Changes from baseline visual analog scale for pain starting from 0-10
Timed up and Go test (TUG)	8 week	Changes from baseline time up and go test to determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking.
