简要总结
Osteoarthritis (OA) also called as an Osteoarthrosis or degenerative joint disease, it is the most common form of chronic disorder of synovial joints. In patients with OA knee, pain would be the earliest symptom, and weakness in the quadriceps muscle compared to healthy persons. Quadriceps muscle weakness may contribute to the substantial functional deficit that occur with disease progression.
This study aims to study the impact of Blood flow restriction technique and Muscle Energy Technique on on isokinetic strength of Quadricep Muscle in knee Osteoarthritis Patients.
GROUP 1 Autogenic Inhibition
Technique Used Post Isometric Relaxation
Protocol
Position Prone, hip flexed to 90°
Isometric contraction of agonist muscle (knee flexors) at 20% strength
Hold for 5 seconds 5 seconds relaxation
2 sets of 5 reps
Frequency 5 sessions per week for 8 weeks
Additional Modalities
Hot Moist Pack 15 mins over knee
Interferential Therapy (IFT) 4 pole method, 20 mins
Ultrasound Therapy 1 MHz, 1.5 W per cm², continuous mode, 5 cm transducer
GROUP 2 Reciprocal Inhibition
Technique UsedReciprocal Inhibition Stretching
Protocol
Position Prone, hip flexed to 90°
Isometric contraction of antagonist muscle (likely knee extensors) at 20% strength
Hold for 5 seconds, 5 seconds relaxation
2 sets of 5 reps
Frequency 5 sessions per week for 8 weeks
Additional Modalities
Hot Moist Pack 15 mins over knee
Interferential Therapy (IFT) 4 pole method, 20 mins
Ultrasound Therapy 1 MHz, 1.5 W per cm², continuous mode, 5 cm transducer
GROUP 3 Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Technique
Technique Used BFR with Low-Load Resistance Training
Protocol
Application of pneumatic cuff proximally to the target muscle
Pressure induces partial arterial and full venous occlusion
Resistance exercises at 20–30 percentage of 1RM, 15–30 reps, 30second rest between sets
Frequency 5 sessions per week for 8 weeks
Additional Modalities
Hot Moist Pack 15 mins over knee
Interferential Therapy (IFT) 4-pole method, 20 mins
Ultrasound Therapy 1 MHz, 1.5 W per cm², continuous mode, 5 cm transducer
Common Interventions in All Group
Hot Moist Pack Applied for 15 minutes to the affected knee
Interferential Therapy (IFT) Four-pole vector method, 20 minutes
Ultrasound Therapy Continuous 1 MHz US at 1.5 W per cm² over knee joint
