About this study
Official title: Comparison of Hip Abductors and Quadriceps Strengthening With Quadriceps Strengthening Alone in Knee Osteoarthritis
The aim of my study is to determine the effects of hip abductors strengthening and quadriceps strengthening in comparison with quadriceps strengthening alone in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Read the detailed description
As the quadriceps strengthening is a keystone of exercise therapy for knee osteoarthritis. Thus is the hip abductors strengthening along with quadriceps strengthening would be added to the treatment protocol of osteoarthritis it might give more positive results, decrease pain and increase the recovery rate as well as helpful to improve the functional outcomes.
- Conditions
- Osteoarthritis Knees Both
- Being tested
- Hip Abductor Strengthening, Traditional Physical Therapy
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hip Abductor StrengtheningOther
Elastic resisted training of Hip Abductors (5-10 seconds hold) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week.
Elastic resisted training of Quadriceps (5-7 seconds hold) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week.
Static Stretching of 5 seconds hold (Calf, Hamstrings, Gluteal muscles and Iliotibial band) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week.
Patellar Mobilization in all four directions 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week.
Total 18 sessions were given in 06 weeks.
Traditional Physical TherapyOther
Elastic resisted training of Quadriceps (5-7 seconds hold) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week.
Static Stretching of 5 seconds hold (Calf, Hamstrings, Gluteal muscles and Iliotibial band) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week.
Patellar Mobilization in all four directions 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week.
Total 18 sessions were given in 06 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Hip Abductor Strengthening | Experimental | This group received quadriceps and hip abductor strengthening along with patellar mobilization and stretching exercises. Receives: Other: Hip Abductor Strengthening |
| Traditional Physical Therapy | Active comparator | This group received quadriceps strengthening along with patellar mobilization and stretching exercises. Receives: Other: Traditional Physical Therapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Changes from baseline- The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a self-reported, or clinician administered, measurement tool consisting of a numerical point scale from 0-10 with extreme anchors of '0-no pain' to '10-extreme pain'. The scale ranges most commonly from 0-10 or 0-100, and can be administered in written or verbal form. 0 means " no pain" ands 10 or 100 means "Worst pain imaginable"
Measured: 6 weeks
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
Changes from baseline- The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index is a tested questionnaire to assess symptoms and physical functional disability in patients with Osteoarthritis of the knee and the hip. The function dimension explores the degree of difficulty in 17 activities. Its score ranges from 0-96. 0 represents the best health status and 96 the worst possible status
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST)
Changes from baseline- Five time Sit-to-Stand Test was related to lower-extremity proprioception, postural sway, strength, and visual contrast sensitivity. Various methods have been used in an attempt to determine how well older adults can rise from a chair have suggested repeating the chair rise 5 times.
Measured: 6 weeks
