简要总结
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
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)
时间窗: 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
时间窗: 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

- 9 step stairs climb test.(8 weeks)
- 30 seconds chair stand test(8 weeks)
- Overall self-perception by Global Rating of Change Score(8 weeks)
