Overview
Brief Summary
Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis will be included in the study trial if they met the inclusion criteria. The written and oral consent of all patients will be taken, and procedure will be explained. Demographic data will be noted. Baseline data which include Functional Disability, pain and Electromyographic Activity of Quadriceps Muscle will be assessed. The patients will be randomly divided into two study groups intervention group and control group. The patients will receive intervention as per the group allocation for 6 weeks. The intervention group will receive Progressive Patellar Tendon Loading Exercises in addition to the conventional physiotherapy whereas the control group will receive conventional physiotherapy only. Patellar Tendon Loading Exercises include progression of 5 exercises (1-Waking to interval jogging, 2-Step ups and Step down, 3-Squats, 4- Lunges, 5-Decline Squats) will be given 3 sessions/week for 6 weeks. Conventional Physiotherapy Includes IFT + Exercises (Isometric quadriceps exercise, Isometric hamstring exercise, Straight leg raising (SLR) exercise, Isometric hip adduction exercise, Hip abduction exercise, Hip Extension exercise, Dynamic Quadriceps) will be given 3 sessions/week for 6 weeks. All participants will be receiving one session of 30-40 minutes per day. Outcome measures will be assessed pre and post intervention period. Statistical analysis of the collected data will be done. Conclusion will be established based on the obtained results of the study.
