Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome pain score
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- Rapid Assessment Physical Activity scale(Upto 4 weeks)
