Effects of Home Based Resistance Training as Compared to Supervised Resistance Training Exercise in the Management of Osteoarthritis.

As the investigators know knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is common in elderly people, causes pain, loss of physical functioning, and disability. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment focuses on reducing pain while also enhancing function and quality of life. Increased interest in non-pharmacologic treatments for OA is a result of declining enthusiasm for cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors as a means of treating knee OA pain and failing clinical trials of OA medications that aim to change the illness. The two hallmarks of non-pharmacologic treatment are resistance training (RT) exercise programs and educational self-management (SM) programs and It has been evident in recent years that RT can have a favorable impact on activity-related energy expenditure, total free-living energy expenditure, and resting energy expenditure (REE) (AEE).Home based training; Home-based exercise, a time-effective and practical treatment option for people with chronic conditions like KOA, is becoming more valued by rehabilitation professionals and researchers. It can performed by patients individually at home, The goal of home-based and hospital-based exercise is the same; that is, to relieve pain and improve function by strengthening lower limb muscles, improving neuromuscular control, and range of joint motion in the affected knees. The main aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of home-based resistance training as compared to supervised resistance training exercises in the management of knee osteoarthritis in terms of pain, ROM , disability, muscle strength and spatiotemporal parameter of gait. The participants meeting the eligibility criteria will be recruited, followed by random allocation to 2 groups. Both groups will receive standard treatment protocol which consists resistant training .12 sessions will be provided on alternative days. Pre and Post assessment of will be noted .
