exercise for hip muscle strengthening in total knee replacement surgery

Completed

• Conditions: Knee Osteoarthritis

• Registration Number: CTRI/2017/08/009457
• Lead Sponsor: Manipal University

Brief Summary

The main objective of the trial is to find the effect of exercise based rehabilitation focusing on hip abductor muscles on the quality of life using SF- 36 survey and functional outcome using six-minute walk test and timed up and go test. At 3 months duration improvements were observed in both the intervention groups for quality of life measured using SF-36. Hip abductor strengthening group showed enhanced function on performance based function measured using six-minute walk test and timed up and go test after total knee replacement than conventional therapy alone.
