简要总结
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is more prevalent in women aged 40–50 and men above 55. The management of knee OA poses significant challenges, as symptoms progressively affect physical, physiological, and social aspects of health, leading to pain and disability. Although international studies highlight the efficacy of blood flow restriction (BFR) training in addressing these issues, research on its application in the Indian context remains scarce.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of BFR training in knee OA patients in India, contributing to evidence-based, culturally relevant rehabilitation practices.
Aim:
1. To determine the impact of blood flow restriction training for treating knee osteoarthritis on pain and physical function.
2. To determine the impact of blood flow restriction training for treating knee osteoarthritis on muscle strength.
3. To determine the impact of blood flow restriction training for treating knee osteoarthritis on quality of life.
Objectives:
1.Assess the impact of BFR training on pain and physical function in individuals with knee OA
- Evaluate the effect of BFR training on muscle strength in knee OA patients.
3.Analyze the influence of BFR training on the quality of life (QOL) in individuals with knee OA
Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis –
Ø 1:No significant improvement in pain and physical function was observed with the application of BFR training in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Ø 2:No significant improvement was observed in muscle strength with the application of BFR training in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Ø 3: No significant improvement in quality of life was observed with the application of BFR training in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Alternate Hypothesis –
Ø 1:Significant improvement on pain and physical function with the application of BFR training in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Ø 2:Significant improvement on muscle strength with the application of BFR training in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Ø 3:Significant improvement was observed in quality of life with the application of BFR training in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
