简要总结
This study aims to determine the influence of core instability exercises in comparison to proprioceptive training in relieving pain, improving balance and physical function in general population of knee Osteoarthritis. The objective is to achieve beneficial results of interventions which can be used in betterment of treatment plan.
详细描述
A randomized control trial will be held at Safi hospital Faisalabad after the approval of the synopsis. The study will be double blinded clinical trial. Simple lottery method will be practiced to allocate subjects into two groups. Subjects are selected according to there explained inclusion exclusion criteria. The two groups are differentiated as control group and experimental group. Both the groups will be given the baseline intervention including TENS and Infrared. Along with baseline treatment control group will be given proprioceptive training and experimental group will be given core instability exercises. The evaluation is done before the research begin, after 6 weeks, after 12th week and Follow up on 16th week at the end of therapy. The outcomes will be assessed through Visual Analog Scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index and Fullerton Advanced Balance scale. The data will be recorded pre and post treatment and compared after 12th week. Informed consent should be signed by each patient and analysis is done by Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 21.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: 12th Week
Visual Analogue Scale is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured.
Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities osteoarthritis Scale
时间窗: 12th Week
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis scale is widely used to assess pain, stiffness, and function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.
Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale
时间窗: 12th Week
The Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale assesses both static and dynamic balance under varying sensory conditions. Balance is measured in this test in active older adults who have higher levels of function.
Kellgren Lawrence scale
时间窗: 12th Week
Kellgren-Lawrence classification is typically applied within the context of knee Osteoarthritis. Based on the radiographic features, the severity of Osteoarthritis is given a grade from 0 to 4, with grade 0 signifying no presence of Osteoarthritis and grade 4 signifying severe Osteoarthritis.
