Effects of Sensory Motor Training and Kinesthetic Exercises in Knee Osteoarthritis.

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Knee Osteoarthritis
• Interventions: Other: kinesthetic exercises; Other: sensory motor training

• Registration Number: NCT06339944
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

In this study i will see the effects of kinesthetic exercises and sensory motor training on pain and range of motion in patients with knee OA.

Detailed Description

In 2022 a A Pilot Randomized Trial of Different Weekly Applications of Kinesthesia, Balance and Agility Exercise Program for Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis was conducted.In 2023 A critically appraised research was conducted on Sensorimotor or Balance Training to Increase Knee-Extensor and Knee-Flexor Maximal Strength in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis.

In past there is no study that compares the effects of SMT and kinesthetic exercises in knee OA.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
kinesthetic exercises along with conventional therapy.	kinesthetic exercises	Group will receive kinesthetic balance exercises after the conventional therapy. All agility-based exercises will be conducted before progressing to balance exercises. For the balance exercises, the participants performed static and dynamic balance exercises with eyes open and then closed by standing on a hard surface and then standing on a soft surface.
sensory motor training along with conventional therapy.	sensory motor training	This group will receive sensory motor training exercises after the conventional therapy. The participants who will be allocated to the SMT group received the same warm-up and stretching program as the CT group, with the same duration and frequency of treatment, but with replacement of the strengthening program with a program emphasizing agility, coordination and balance.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
VAS	6th week	The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
goniometer	6th week	a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position
WOMAC questionaire	6th week	Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis index is a multidimensional self-reported disease-specific questionnaire that assesses pain, stiffness and physical disability in patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint. The Swedish version of WOMAC is a reliable, valid, and responsive instrument with metric properties in agreement with the original widely used version.(16
joint position sense test	6th week	Joint position sense is one of the most commonly used measures of proprioception.; Determining JPS involves measuring the accuracy of joint-angle The joint position reproduction test for JPS using goniometry demonstrated moderate to good test-retest reliability and acceptable measurement error in healthy adults.replication,which can be conducted actively or passively and in an open or closed chain environment.
