intermittent compression-decompression with glides
Conventional Physical Therapy
conventional physical therapy and intermittent compression-decompression with glides
Patients in this group will be given only intermittent compression and decompression with glides. Traction (decompression applied at knee joint with anteroposterior glide followed by compression for about 6 minutes (30 glides, 10 seconds compression and vice versa), for the duration of 4 weeks (3 days a week, alternate days)
In this group conventional therapy will be given according to below mentioned protocol for 4 weeks (3 days a week, alternate days). Hot pack /TENS for 10 minutes Stretching: Hamstring(10x) and calf (10x) Strengthening of periarticular muscles especially the quadriceps (straight leg raising, pillow squeeze-isometric and dynamic)
Patients in this group will receive the combination of conventional physical therapy andintermittent compression and decompression with glides, for 4 weeks (3 days a week, alternate days).
