- Brief Summary
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative, progressive and wide spread disease, which may lead the patient to severe outcomes e.g. pain, loss of joint motion, inflexibility, disability and decreases the quality of life (QOL). As it affects the adults of older age, therefore should be emphasized.Effectiveness of Mulligan knee taping, lateral wedge insoles and traditional physical therapy(Ultrasound therapy with stretching and strengthening exercises) with home exercises as baseline treatment were assessed through RAPA and complete KOOS questionnaire.
- Detailed Description
A total of 60 patients with medial compartment 3rd grade knee osteoarthritis were recruited and randomly divided into three groups, 20 in each group.The data was collected through general demographic questionnaire, rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) to determine physical activity level and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to determine the level of pain severity, stiffness, functional activities, recreational activities and Quality of life for enhancing functional independence while having osteoarthritis. For between-group analysis, one way ANOVA was used and for within-group analysis longitudinal repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) with Tukey's multiple comparisons test was used.

Group Intervention Description Knee Taping with Home Exercises (Group 1) Mulligan Knee Taping with Home Exercises Knee osteoarthritis patients were assessed by general demographic questionnaire, rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) to determine physical activity level and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to determine the level of pain severity,stiffness, functional activities, recreational activities and Quality of life for enhancing functional independence and were assigned into knee taping group.Each subject in first group completed 4 weeks of physical therapy sessions which were aimed to decrease pain and stiffness, increase functional activity level, and improve quality of life. Each subject was evaluated for changes in symptoms on, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week. Lateral wedge insoles with Home Exercises (Group 2) Lateral wedge insoles with Home Exercises Knee osteoarthritis patients were assessed by general demographic questionnaire, rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) to determine physical activity level and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to determine the level of pain severity,stiffness, functional activities, recreational activities and Quality of life for enhancing functional independence and were assigned into lateral wedge insole group.Each subject in second group completed 4 weeks of physical therapy sessions which were aimed to decrease pain and stiffness, increase functional activity level, and improve quality of life. Each subject was evaluated for changes in symptoms on, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week. Traditional Physiotherapy with Home Exercises (Group 3) Traditional Physiotherapy with Home Exercises Knee osteoarthritis patients were assessed by general demographic questionnaire, rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) to determine physical activity level and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to determine the level of pain severity,stiffness, functional activities, recreational activities and Quality of life for enhancing functional independence and were assigned into traditional physiotherapy group.Each subject in third group completed 4 weeks of physical therapy sessions which were aimed to decrease pain and stiffness, increase functional activity level, and improve quality of life. Each subject was evaluated for changes in symptoms on, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome pain score Upto 4 weeks Pain associated with daily tasks is measured through Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome pain score scale with categories as "None" for no pain and "Extreme" for maximum pain value.
Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome stiffness score Upto 4 weeks It is also measured through Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome stiffness score scale with categories as "None" for no pain and "Extreme" for maximum pain value.
Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome functional status score Upto 4 weeks Degree of difficulty in performing daily tasks associated with knee joint is measured through Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome functional status score in categories as "None" for no difficulty in task and "Extreme" for maximum difficulty in performing task.
Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome quality of life score Upto 4 weeks Quality of life regarding knee joint disease is measured through Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome quality of life score in categories as according to patient's satisfaction.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rapid Assessment Physical Activity scale Upto 4 weeks Physical activity level of the patients was also observed through rapid assessment of physical activity with categories as "0" for No involvement and "1" for yes and the results showed that those who are involved in any type of physical activity have a better functional outcome.
