简要总结
The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive Shock wave therapy. Group B will receive Dry needing.
详细描述
Patellar tendinopathy (Jumper's knee) remains, nowadays, a therapeutic challenge because of the unclear mechanism that induces this condition and related symptoms. Overloading or incorrect training, hard playing surfaces, and inadequate equipment are implicated as extrinsic risk factors, while age, sex, biotype, internal load, lower limb length discrepancy or abnormality (alignment defects or lower limb rotational defect, foot abnormalities and constitutional laxity) have been considered predisposing factors. The aim of present study is to compare the effects of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy versus Dry needling for Pain Management, knee function and QOL in Jumpers Knee. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy versus Dry needling for Pain Management, knee function and QOL in Jumpers Knee.
This study will be randomized clinical trial in which 48 individuals will be randomized through non-probability convenient sampling by lottery method into 2 groups. Group A will undergo Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy and group B will receive Dry needling. To evaluate the acute effects of the training protocols, assessments will be conducted pre- and post-intervention using the measures relevant to on Pain (NPRS), knee function (VISA-P score) and Quality of Life (KOS-ADL) are performed before and after the training sessions. The duration of training sessions will be 10 weeks with 2-3 treatment sessions per week.

结局指标
主要结局
numeric pain rating scale
时间窗: Pre and 6 week post interventional
pain will be evaluated through numeric pain rating scale, The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is an 11-point scale from 0 to 10. Patients select a whole number matching their pain intensity, where 0 means no pain and 10 means the worst pain imaginable. Scores are grouped into mild (1-3), moderate (4-6), and severe (7-10) pain levels
Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment - Patella
时间窗: Pre and 6 week post interventional
Knee Function measured through the VISA-P (Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment - Patella) score has a maximum value of 100 points for a healthy, pain-free individual, with a theoretical minimum of 0. It consists of eight questions assessing pain, functional severity, and sports capacity. You can calculate your score interactively using online tools like the VISA-P Questionnaire.
Quality Of life measure through KOS-ADLS
时间窗: Pre and 6 week post interventional
The Knee Outcome Survey Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS): The KOS-ADLS is a 14-item self-reported questionnaire designed to evaluate symptoms and limitation during activities of daily living among patients with various knee disorders
