Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Low intensity pulsed ultrasound
Participants in this arm will receive low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy on the affected knees for 20 minutes per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Conventional physiotherapy of quadriceps muscle exercise and health education about life style will also be given.
Low intensity pulsed ultrasound
Low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy will use ultrasound with frequency of 1.5 MHz, power intensity of 30 mW/cm\^2 (0.03 W/cm\^2 ) and 20% duty cycle.
High intensity continuous ultrasound
Participants in this arm will receive high intensity continuous ultrasound therapy on the affected knees for 10 minutes per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Conventional physiotherapy of quadriceps muscle exercise and health education about life style will also be given.
High intensity continuous ultrasound
High intensity continuous ultrasound therapy will use ultrasound with frequency of 1 MHz, power intensity of 3 W/cm\^2 and 100% duty cycle.
