简要总结
Background: Osteoarthritis is a common cause of chronic pain and disability in elderly people.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in combination with Maitland mobilization and conventional physical therapy in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis.
Design: Pre-test post-test randomized control trial.
详细描述
Knee OA is associated with pain and disability, high treatment costs, decreased productivity, and absence from work and thus has a substantial and growing burden on society Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in combination with Maitland mobilization and conventional physical therapy in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis.
Participants: Seventy five subjects of both genders with age range from 50 to 65 years, with proven bilateral knee OA diagnosed and referred by orthopaedist were recruited for the study and randomly assigned into three groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Pressure Algometer
时间窗: Four weeks
is a handheld pressure algometer that responds linearly to force application between 0 and 5 Kg and it has a 1-cm2 round rubber tip.
Visual analogue scale
时间窗: Four weeks
Is a bidirectional 10 cm straight line with two labels, that is, "no pain" and "worst possible pain", located at either end of the line. Patients were instructed to draw a vertical mark on the line indicating their pain level where zero mean no pain and 10 means worst imaginable pain
Knee digital goniometry
时间窗: Four weeks
Baseline digital absolute + axis TM goniometer was used which consisted of one movable arm and one fixed arm and fulcrum
次要结局
- Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score short form(Four weeks)
