简要总结
This project was a randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of kaltenborn versus mulligan techniques on pain ,range of motion and functional disability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis of the wrist The inflammatory polyarthritis that primarily affects the tiny joints is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune illness. It is characterized by synovial joint degeneration, joint swelling, and joint discomfort, which can result in disability and early death .All patients of chronic stage,convenience sampling technique was used,subjects following eligibility criteria from Shaikh zayed hospital lahore ,were randomly allocated into two groups ,baseline assessment was done.Group A participants were given Kaltenborn mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy.Group B participants were given Mulligan mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy.Post intervention assessment was done via,VAS(visual analogue scale),goniometric measurements of wrist ranges,and QUICK DASH score.3 sessions per week were given,Data was analyzed by using SPSS.
详细描述
Rheumatoid arthritis is among the most commonly reported problems to physicians, orthopedics and physical therapist.Even before reporting to clinics there is a long history of using over the counter pain killers.Pain avoidance behaviors let the joint stiff so much that a clinician help is sought.Most times the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not known therefore it is term as "autoimmune disorder".There is a vast literature regarding the management of rheumatoid arthritis and yet after the decades of research there are gaps in the treatment plan.In modern age of health care it is common goal of every health care to make patient self sufficient as early as possible .The self care model has new treatment protocols All patients of chronic stage,convenience sampling technique was used, subjects following eligibility criteria from Shaikh zayed hospital lahore ,were randomly allocated into two groups ,baseline assessment was done. Group A participants were given Kaltenborn mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy .Group B participants were given Mulligan mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy. Post intervention assessment was done via,VAS(visual analogue scale),goniometric measurements of wrist ranges ,and QUICK DASH score.3 sessions per week were given,Data was analyzed by using SPSS. .This study has compared the effectiveness of kaltenborn versus mulligan mobilization on pain,range of motion and functional disabilty in patients with rheumatoid arthitis of the wrist.The current study was narrative in a way that in literature there is no comparison of two different mobilizations about treating rheumatoid arthritis.These two mobilizations were employed to see which is more effective to improve pain,range of motion and functional disability in rheumatoid arthritis of the wrist.

主要结局
GONIOMETER
时间窗: 4 weeks
Goniometer is an instrument used to determine range of motion in patients joint .During rehabilitation, a goniometer would also be used to measure what progress has been achieved in returning back to normal range of motion.In rheumatoid arthritis of the wrist , goniometer measures the range of flexion ,extension ,radial and ulnar deviation of the wrist joint .
VAS(visual analogue scale)
时间窗: 4 weeks
The visual analogue scale measures pain intensity .it consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain')and 10('worst pain').The patient rate their current level of pain by placing a mark on the line. .
QUICK DASH
时间窗: 4weeks
It is the 11 item questionnaire that measures upper extremity specific symptoms and disability. It can be used to access any region of the upper extremity. The first 6 items measure the degree of difficulty in performing various physical activities and the other five items related to quality of sleeping, social activities ,daily activities and the intensity of pain and numbness.
