Brief Summary

This was a randomized control Trial, conducted with two group of patients, one has received Balance and stability training on Biodex stability system along with conservative protocol of traditional exercises. the other group has received only conservative protocol of traditional exercises

Detailed Description

Patients with Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis have balance and stability deficits. In routine such patients are not evaluated and treated on balance and stability parameters. So this study was conducted with objectives to determine the effects of Balance training using Biodex stability system in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Experimental group has received Balance and stability training on Biodex stability system along with conservative protocol of traditional exercises.

Control group has received only conservative protocol of traditional exercises.

Conditions

Knee Osteoarthritis

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

Group I

The experimental group was treated with Balance Training on Biodex Stability System along with traditional exercises.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Balance Training

Intervention Type: OTHER

Experimental group received balance training on Biodex stability System along with traditional exercise program. During balance training on Biodex, patients were instructed to stand on the platform with bare feet with open eyes and both legs supported. Patients were looking forward to screen having hands hang by the sides. The patients were instructed not to change their feet position and balance the body. The handles were accessible for safety point. But touching the handles cancelled the trail. Total time of training was 10 minutes each set is of 3 minutes with 20 sec rest intervals.

Group II

The Control group was treated with Traditional exercises only for Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Training

Intervention Type: OTHER

Control group has received traditional exercises i.e Quadriceps strength exercises, Hamstrings flexibility exercises and Balance exercises.
