简要总结
This project will be a Randomized clinical trial conducted to check the effect of paraffin wax bath with joint mobilization technique in rehabilitation of post-traumatic stiff knee joint. Study duration will be of 8 months, convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Jinnah Hospital Lahore, will be randomly allocated in two groups, baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with paraffin wax bath therapy and Maitland knee joint mobilization, Group B participants will be given baseline treatment along with Maitland knee joint mobilization. Assessments will done in 4th week and 8th week via, Numeric pain rating scale, goniometer, western Ontario and McMaster universities osteoarthritis index,4 sessions per week will given, data will analyzed by using SPSS version 25.
详细描述
Knee stiffness is common problem post traumatically due to process of inhibition often occurs in the early post-injury phase. This leads to the initiation of muscle atrophy within hours of the cessation of normal voluntary muscle activation further; this can result in an increase in the viscosity of synovial fluid within the joint, which provides more resistance to motion. Maitland mobilization aims to reestablish the spinning, gliding and rolling motions of the two joints. Although paraffin bath therapy has various effects such as analgesia, reducing chronic inflammation, and increasing connective tissue elasticity, it is non-invasive and has few side effects. Paraffin wax therapy, combined with exercises and the use of splints, has also been found helpful in restoring the range of movement. The current study is to explore the effect of parrafin wax bath therapy in rehabilitation of posttrumatic stiff knee range of motion, pain and functional status, and emphasize the importance of parrafin wax bath therapy adjunct with mobilization technique in treatment of knee stiffness

结局指标
主要结局
NPRS
时间窗: 3rd day
Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain
WOMAC
时间窗: 3rd day
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) is widely used in the evaluation of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis. It is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales Pain (5 items): during walking, using stairs, in bed, sitting or lying, and standing upright, Stiffness (2 items): after first waking and later in the day, Physical Function (17 items): using stairs, rising from sitting, standing, bending, walking, getting in / out of a car, shopping, putting on / taking off socks, rising from bed, lying in bed, getting in / out of bath, sitting, getting on / off toilet, heavy domestic duties, light domestic duties.
Goniometer
时间窗: 3rd day
A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.
