Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 40 participants

Brief Summary

This study aims to determine the influence of core instability exercises in comparison to proprioceptive training in relieving pain, improving balance and physical function in general population of knee Osteoarthritis. The objective is to achieve beneficial results of interventions which can be used in betterment of treatment plan.

Detailed Description

A randomized control trial will be held at Safi hospital Faisalabad after the approval of the synopsis. The study will be double blinded clinical trial. Simple lottery method will be practiced to allocate subjects into two groups. Subjects are selected according to there explained inclusion exclusion criteria. The two groups are differentiated as control group and experimental group. Both the groups will be given the baseline intervention including TENS and Infrared. Along with baseline treatment control group will be given proprioceptive training and experimental group will be given core instability exercises. The evaluation is done before the research begin, after 6 weeks, after 12th week and Follow up on 16th week at the end of therapy. The outcomes will be assessed through Visual Analog Scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index and Fullerton Advanced Balance scale. The data will be recorded pre and post treatment and compared after 12th week. Informed consent should be signed by each patient and analysis is done by Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 21.

Study Groups

Proprioceptive Strength Training

• Conservation physical therapy includes TENS 15 min + Infrared 15 min simultaneously.
• Proprioceptive strength training for 30 min includes following exercises:

Strengthening of Quadriceps Ankle extensors and Hip abductors strengthening Zigzag walking Heel to toe walk forward and backwards toe to heel Standing on one leg while holding wall, eyes open and eyes closed

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Conservational Physical Therapy and Proprioceptive Strength Training

Intervention Type: OTHER

The proprioceptive training cycle consist of squats, single leg stand, slide steps , forward and backward step, toe walking , heel walking , side sway etc.

Core Instability Strength Training

• Conservational therapy includes TENS for 15 min+ Infrared for 15 min simultaneously.
• Core instability strength training for 30 minutes includes following exercises:

Quadriceps stretch, crook lying, abdominal hallowing Dynamic Hamstrings stretch Bridging arms at side Crook lying+lifting both legs at right angle with hands resting on thighs

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Conservational Physical Therapy and Core Instability Strength Training

Intervention Type: OTHER

Core stability is essential part of lower limb rehabilitation; it is also known protocol which includes group of exercises in both standing and sitting improving biomechanics and functional performance of the body.
