简要总结
The purpose of this study Will investigate and compare the effects of retro-walking and forward-walking underwater treadmill training on pain, function and ROM in subjects with chronic knee OA
详细描述
In the current study, Sixty subjects from both genders, the dominant side only will be involved. They will be divided in to three equal groups: group A (experimental1), group B (experimental 2), group C (control), they will be signed a consent form to share in this study which aimed to investigate the effects of retro-walking and forward-walking underwater treadmill training on pain, function and ROM in subjects with chronic knee OA

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: up to three monthes
Pain intensity will be measured by visual analog scale (VAS. ). It is line with worst pain at one end and no pain at the other end
knee disability
时间窗: up to three months
knee disablity will be measured by The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index. The WOMAC is a self-administered instrument containing 24 items measuring 3 subscales: physical function (17 items), pain (5 items), and stiffness (2 items).Scores range from 0 to 96 for the total WOMAC where 0 represents the best health status and 96 the worst possible status.
次要结局
- knee range of motion(up to three months)
