简要总结
This study will be carried out at the Centre for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences (CPRS), Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis will be recruited from the university campus and outpatient department based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
All eligible participants will be informed in detail about the nature, purpose, and procedures of the study. The potential benefits and minimal risks involved will be clearly explained. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to participation (According to Helsinki declaration,1964).
Following screening, demographic details including age, gender, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI), BP and heart rate will be recorded. After that subjects will undergo baseline evaluation of pain intensity will be assessed using NPRS scale, range of motion of Knee flexion and extension will be assessed using Electro goniometry, Quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength will be assessed using Lafayette Handheld Dynamometer, gait (Stride length, Step length, Stride time, Step time, Gait velocity, Cadence) will be assessed using GaitON, balance (COP sway, COP range, Reaction time, Proprioception) will be assessed using Pedalosensamove, functional mobility will be assessed using Time Up and Go test, health related quality of life will be assessed using Short F-36 Questionnaire, and disability will be assessed using WOMAC Questionnair.
After completion of baseline assessments, participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups: Group A: control group – perform whole body vibration training on stable platform, Group B: experimental group - perform whole body vibration training on unstable platform, Both groups will be given conventional treatment and active exercises.
Following the administration of 16 sessions of intervention over a period of 4 weeks (4 sessions per week, 40–45 minutes per session). Outcome measures will be reassessed at the end of 4 weeks using the same assessment procedures as at baseline.
