Foot and Hip Abductor Strengthening in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis.
- Conditions
- Knee Osteoarthritis
- Registration Number
- NCT06343909
- Lead Sponsor
- Riphah International University
- Brief Summary
The study will be Randomized controlled trail, Subject diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups.
Pre assessment will be done using pain, ROM, function, foot arches and knee alignment as subjective measurement through KOOS questionnaire, goniometer, 2D frontal plane projection, Berkemann foot prints using ink and paper ,30s chair stand test, nine step stair climb,40m fast paced walk test,Global rating of change score respectively . One group will be treated with hip abductor strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises and second group will be treated with intrinsic foot muscle strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises. Post treatment values recorded after the session.After data collection from defined study setting,data will be entered and analyzed at Riphah International University,Lahore
- Detailed Description
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of joint pain1 and disability2 in middle- and older-aged individuals, and is one of the most commonly managed conditions in primary care3. Recent incidence rates suggest around 6% of people aged over 45 years develop knee symptoms. Knee OA symptoms and radiographic change that worsen over time can lead to costly surgical intervention.
Compressive forces on the knee caused by knee adduction moment on the medial compartment of the joint are associated with the severity of the disease and intensity of pain. In addition, decreased strength of the quadriceps is one of the contributing factors for the onset of the disease.
short foot exercises (SFE) have shown to be effective using the IFM and excluding the EFM found that SFE contracted the intrinsic muscles of the foot to increase the inner arch of the foot, thereby shortening the longitudinal arch.Pronated foot is deeply related to the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) where the presence of a pronated foot consequently leads to a decrease in the MLA.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) 8 weeks The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a questionnaire designed to assess short and long-term patient-relevant outcomes following knee injury.A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No problems) to 4 (Extreme problems).
Berkemann foot prints 8 weeks For arch measurement, the longitudinal and horizontal arch lengths were recorded for the left and right feet to create a static standing position using a Berkemann footprint
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Frontal plane projection 8 weeks Two-dimensional (2D) frontal-plane projection angles of hip and knee alignment were measured during a single-leg step-down performed from a 15-cm step
Goniometer 8 weeks Universal Goniometer (UG) An instrument called a goniometer is used to measure a joint's range of motion.
9 step stairs climb test. 8 weeks This test used to measure physical function.
30 seconds chair stand test 8 weeks This test used to measure physical function.
Overall self-perception by Global Rating of Change Score 8 weeks Overall self-perception will be evaluated by the Global Rating of Change Score, an 11-point scale designed to quantify a patient's improvement or deterioration over time. Higher scores indicate better recovery from KOA
40-m fast-paced walk test 8 weeks This test used to measure physical function.
