简要总结
This study will be carried out to combine the effect of PEMF and PUT on pain, function, and ROM in patients with knee OA.
详细描述
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most frequent illnesses in the world, affecting the knee joint in particular. Osteoarthritis of the knee is the most common cause of physical limitations and a decline in quality of life. OA of the knee affects 250 million individuals worldwide (3.6 percent of the population). According to the World Health Organization's study on the global burden of illness, knee OA is expected to become the eighth-most
Ultrasound is one of the most often utilized and misunderstood treatment techniques. Ultrasound can help in the treatment or rehabilitation of musculoskeletal problems when utilized appropriately. When it is administered wrongly, however, the therapy provides little benefit at best, and at worst, the desired physiological effects are restricted or hindered.
Electrotherapy is frequently used for the treatment of different musculoskeletal disorders, The most common types of electrotherapy are ultrasound (US), iontophoresis, laser therapy, electromagnetic therapy, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). To our knowledge, no previous clinical trials have combined the effectiveness of PEMF and PUST in the treatment of knee OA. Therefore, this study will be conducted to combine the efficacy of PEMF and PUST in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

结局指标
主要结局
Dynamic balance
时间窗: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
Assessing the change in Dynamic balance using timed up and go test. It will be used to asses patients functional mobility. The patient will be asked to rise from a standard armchair, walk at a safe and comfortable pace to a mark 3 m away, then return to a sitting position in the chair, using gait aids and chair armrests to assist with sit to stand as needed.
Range of motion of knee
时间窗: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
Assessing the change in knee rane of motion using electrogoniometer.
Pain intensity
时间窗: at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
Assessing the change in pain intensity using visual analogue scale which consists of a 10-cm line anchored at each end. Score of 10 means (Worest possible pain) while score of 0 means (No pain).
次要结局
- Pain, Stiffness and function(at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention)
- Walking ability(at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention)
