Comapre Effects Of Proprioceptive Training And Core Instability Strength Training In Knee Osteoarthritis Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Knee Osteoarthritis
• Interventions: Other: Conservational Physical Therapy and Core Instability Strength Training; Other: Conservational Physical Therapy and Proprioceptive Strength Training

• Registration Number: NCT05258227
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Core Instability Strength Training	Conservational Physical Therapy and Core Instability Strength Training	* Conservational therapy includes TENS for 15 min+ Infrared for 15 min simultaneously. * Core instability strength training for 30 minutes includes following exercises: Quadriceps stretch, crook lying, abdominal hallowing Dynamic Hamstrings stretch Bridging arms at side Crook lying+lifting both legs at right angle with hands resting on thighs
Proprioceptive Strength Training	Conservational Physical Therapy and Proprioceptive Strength Training	* Conservation physical therapy includes TENS 15 min + Infrared 15 min simultaneously. * Proprioceptive strength training for 30 min includes following exercises: Strengthening of Quadriceps Ankle extensors and Hip abductors strengthening Zigzag walking Heel to toe walk forward and backwards toe to heel Standing on one leg while holding wall, eyes open and eyes closed

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analogue Scale	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	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	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	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.
