Overview

Brief Summary

study will be conducted at faculty of physical therapy cairo university to investigate the effect of combined kinetic chain exercises on static and dynamic hamstring and quadriceps strength in knee osteoarthritis patients

Detailed Description

the study will be conducted at faculty of physical therapy cairo university to investigate the effect of combined kinetic chain exercises on static and dynamic hamstring and quadriceps strength ,knee pain ,function ,H/Q ratio in knee osteoarthritis patients .using lafayette hand held dynamometer to measuring static strength of hamstring and quadriceps ,and free weight by Brzycki formula for measuring dynamic hamstring and quadriceps strength by determining 1 repetition maximum ,and pain measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) rating from (0 = no pain ) to (10= worst pain ) ,and function by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index questionnaire lower score indicate patient get better ,number of patients will be 34 divided into 2 groups ,each group will include 17 patient ,with 2 drop out according to sample size calculation ,each group will receive conventional tens for 20 min. and hot back for 15 min. and stretching exercises for hamstring,quadriceps,calf muscles ,while the experimental group will be increased by combined kinetic chain exercises

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

static quadriceps strength

Time Frame: Evaluation will be performed prior to the first treatment session ;as a baseline measure,and at last treatment session (after 4 weeks) as a post -treatment measure

measuring static quadriceps from sitting position at angle 60 and 90

Hamstring /Quadriceps ((H/Q) ratio

Time Frame: Evaluation will be performed prior to the first treatment session ;as a baseline measure,and at last treatment session (after 4 weeks) as a post -treatment measure

dividing static hamstring on static quadriceps strength and dynamic hamstring on dynamic quadriceps strength

dynamic quadriceps strength

Time Frame: Evaluation will be performed prior to the first treatment session ;as a baseline measure,and at last treatment session (after 4 weeks) as a post -treatment measure

measuring dynamic quadriceps strength from sitting position by randomised free weight and Brzycki formula

static hamstring strength

Time Frame: Evaluation will be performed prior to the first treatment session ;as a baseline measure,and at last treatment session (after 4 weeks) as a post -treatment measure

measuring static hamstring strength from sitting position at angle 60 and 90

dynamic hamstring strength

Time Frame: Evaluation will be performed prior to the first treatment session ;as a baseline measure,and at last treatment session (after 4 weeks) as a post -treatment measure

measuring dynamic hamstring strength from prone position by randomised free weight and Brzycki formula

Secondary Outcomes

  • function(Evaluation will be performed prior to the first treatment session ;as a baseline measure,and at last treatment session (after 4 weeks) as a post -treatment measure)
  • change in neck pain(Evaluation will be performed prior to the first treatment session ;as a baseline measure,and at last treatment session (after 4 weeks) as a post -treatment measure)
