Brief Summary

Knee Osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent degenerative conditions in Pakistan. Although a variety of Physical therapy treatments have been proven to be beneficial in patients with early stages of knee Osteoarthritis. However, a few secondary impairments like Kinesiophobia which is the fear of movement have been unaddressed. Usually after conventional physical therapy, patients find immediate or short-term relief and that leads to cessation of follow up sessions. In situations like these, kinesiophobia is the greatest threat to mobility and can eventually effect quality of life by decreasing functional disability.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Physical Therapy for Knee Osteoarthriths

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

Participants of Group A will receive the conventional physical therapy for Knee Osteoarthistis for a duration of 6 weeks atleast 2 times a week

Virtual reality Based Therapeutic Exercise Regimes

Gaming exercises begin will an easy warm up round and get challenging with different rounds of each game as the patient progresses to week 6.

Frequency: 2-3 times for a duration for 6 weeks Pt will be guided home plan based exercises

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual Reality-Based Therapeutic Exercise regimes

Intervention Type: PROCEDURE

• Participants of Group B will receive Virtual Reality Based therapeutic exercises on the Xbox. The difficulty level of the games will progess each week. The duration of training will also also progress at treatment week progresses.
• Frequency: 2-3 times a week for 6 weeks. Minimum 12 sessions in total.
