简要总结
This randomized controlled trial will examine the effects of Russian Electrical Stimulation combined with Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise on pain, muscle strength, and functional outcomes in older adults with knee osteoarthritis. Men and women aged fifty years and above with knee pain rated eight or higher on the visual analog scale and diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis for at least six months will be eligible. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard quadriceps strengthening exercises or an intervention group receiving Russian Electrical Stimulation along with isometric and progressive quadriceps strengthening using a Thera-band. Outcomes will include pressure pain threshold, muscle strength measured with an automated portable dynamometer, functional disability using the WOMAC Index, and the six-minute walk test. The study will be conducted at the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Jashore University of Science and Technology with recruitment expected to begin on fifteenth July two thousand twenty-five. The study is partially funded by the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Jashore University of Science and Technology.
