Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Osteoarthritis is a common cause of chronic pain and disability in elderly people.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in combination with Maitland mobilization and conventional physical therapy in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis.

Design: Pre-test post-test randomized control trial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Knee OA is associated with pain and disability, high treatment costs, decreased productivity, and absence from work and thus has a substantial and growing burden on society Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in combination with Maitland mobilization and conventional physical therapy in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis.

Participants: Seventy five subjects of both genders with age range from 50 to 65 years, with proven bilateral knee OA diagnosed and referred by orthopaedist were recruited for the study and randomly assigned into three groups.

Group A

Group A received LLLT and Maitland mobilization technique along with conventional physical therapy,

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low Level laser therapy

Intervention Type DEVICE

is a non-invasive light source treatment that generates a single wavelength of light. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration. It is also called photobiology or bio-stimulation

Maitland mobilization technique

Intervention Type OTHER

is a process of examination; assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders by manipulative physiotherapy where a chain of oscillatory joint mobilization grades based on the pathological limit of tissue are used

Group B

received LLLT and conventional physical therapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low Level laser therapy

Intervention Type DEVICE

is a non-invasive light source treatment that generates a single wavelength of light. It emits no heat, sound, or vibration. It is also called photobiology or bio-stimulation

Group C
