Brief Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial which aims to compare the effect of weight bearing exercises and non-weight bearing exercises on the dynamic balance in knee osteoarthritis patients as 60 patients will divided in three groups where one group is control group and others two groups one of them perform weight bearing exercises and the other perform non weight bearing exercises.

Conditions

Study Groups

weight bearing exercises group

20 patients were assigned to this group with bilateral knees osteoarthritis, they received TENS, stretching exercises and weight bearing strengthening exercises.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

stretching exercises

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

stretching exercises for Hamstring, quadriceps and calf muscle for both lower limbs of the same patients. each exercise was repeated 5 times and each repetition hold for 30 seconds in the same session.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

it is one of the electrical stimulation modalities which is used to relief pain, each patient receive it on both knees every session.

weight bearing strengthening exercises

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

strengthening exercises for quadriceps, gluteus maximus, gluteus Medius and calf muscle in the form of weight bearing from standing position each exercise was repeated for 10 times with 5 seconds hold in the same set and patient perform three sets in the same session for both lower limbs.

non-weight bearing exercises group

20 patients were assigned to this group with bilateral knees osteoarthritis, they received TENS, stretching exercises and Non-weight bearing strengthening exercises.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

stretching exercises

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

stretching exercises for Hamstring, quadriceps and calf muscle for both lower limbs of the same patients. each exercise was repeated 5 times and each repetition hold for 30 seconds in the same session.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

it is one of the electrical stimulation modalities which is used to relief pain, each patient receive it on both knees every session.

Non-weight bearing strengthening exercises

Intervention Type: COMBINATION_PRODUCT

strengthening exercises for quadriceps, gluteus maximus, gluteus Medius and calf muscle in the form of non-weight bearing from lying and setting positions each exercise was repeated for 10 times with 5 seconds hold in the same set and patient perform three sets in the same session for both lower limbs.
