About this study

Official title: Comparison Of Brace (Balance, Resistance, Aerobic, Cognitive Exercise) And Proprioceptive Training On Balance And Mobility In Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is common joint disorder in older adults. The prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing in the elderly population and due to obesity.The aim of this study to compare improvement in balance between BRACE and proprioceptive training in knee osteoarthritis and to compare mobility level between proprioceptive and BRACE in knee osteoarthritis

Read the detailed description

Knee osteoarthritis is common joint disorder in older adults. The prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing in the elderly population and due to obesity. Balance disorder generally disturbed equilibrium and increase risk of fall. There is lack of proprioceptive sensation in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study to compare improvement in balance between BRACE and proprioceptive training in knee osteoarthritis and to compare mobility level between proprioceptive and BRACE in knee osteoarthritis. Randomized control trial study of 8 week follows up. Sample size will be 22. The patients will be divided into 2 groups BRACE and proprioceptive training. The patients will get training section for 3 days per week for 8 weeks. The measurement will be taken at base line, after 8 weeks. Study duration will be 6 months. Individuals of age 50-70 year, Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) 20 or higher, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) 30-45 points, Experience of at least one fall during the previous 12 months, both Males and Females will be include. Patients will be excluded if they exhibited history of cardiovascular or musculoskeletal diseases, previously used medication for the central nervous system, occurrence of lower limbs lesions or fractures in last six months. Assessment tools will be MMSE, Berg balance scale, TUG, CTSIB, 6 minute walk test. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 20. Data will be check for its normality, within groups comparison paired sample T-test, between groups independent sample T-test will be used

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BRACEBehavioural

    Balance training,Static balance:

    1. Romberg with eye open \& eye close [30 sec repeat 3 times]
    2. Tandem standing with eye open then with eye close. Right foot front first, then left foot front [10 Sec repeat 3 times]
    3. Single leg stance 5 repetition with sec.

    Static/Dynamic/Anti-cipatory Postural Control:

    1. Sit to stand: 5 repetition
    2. Functional reach test: forward, sideways \& cross reach, practice 1 min for each
    3. TUG test: with distance of 10 feet \& time 10 sec. practice 2 min Cognitive exercises
    4. Count reverse from 50 Repeat with eyes open and close Reps of 30s for each 2) Push wall and reverse count from 20 3) Remember 5 words, Name 5 animals, Repeat 5 words
  • Propirioceptive trainingBehavioural

    1st Phase - Steady phase (1st set: Eyes Open, 2nd set: Eyes Close) Preserve standup position Equally heels up and down Preserve standup on one leg by turns

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Berg balance scale

    it is measure of dynamic and static balance

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Time up and go test

    it is also measure of static and dynamic balance

    Measured: less than 3 minutes

  3. clinical test of sensory interaction on balance

    test for balance

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BRACE and Propirioceptive training in people with Osteoarthritis Knees Both, run by khadija liaquat at 1 site in Pakistan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Berg balance scale (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2023.
