Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

The study Design was randomized control trial in which data was collected From Riphah Rehabilitation And Research Center and Pakistan Railway Hospital-IIMCT. Convenient sampling technique was used for data collection. 39 patients having knee osteoarthritis were recruited in this study. After taking consent from patients, patients were divided randomly into two groups through lottery method. The Experimental Group received compression mobilization with Conventional Physiotherapy (n = 19) and the Control group received Conventional Physiotherapy (n = 20). Research data was collected through structural questionnaire. the main variables were ROM, MMT, Muscle length and mBBS.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the intervention effects of low level laser for knee OA group

The purpose of this study is to compare between therapeutic exercises and therapeutic exercises preceded by mechanical traction in treatment of patients with primary knee osteoarthritis attributed to the outcomes of pain, muscle strength, functional disability and functional performance. Hypotheses There will be no significant difference between therapeutic exercises and therapeutic exercises preceded by mechanical traction on reduction of knee pain severity in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. There will be no significant difference between therapeutic exercises and therapeutic exercises preceded by mechanical traction on reduction of functional disability in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. There will be no significant difference between therapeutic exercises and therapeutic exercises preceded by mechanical traction on increasing isometric quadriceps muscle strength in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. There will be no significant difference between therapeutic exercises and therapeutic exercises preceded by mechanical traction on increasing isometric hamstring muscle strength in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. There will be no significant difference between therapeutic exercises and therapeutic exercises preceded by mechanical traction on decreasing walking time in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis. There will be no significant difference between therapeutic exercises and therapeutic exercises preceded by mechanical traction on decreasing ascending and descending stairs time in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis.

Objective is to compare the effects of routine physical therapy with and without low intensity blood flow restriction on pain and quadriceps muscle strength in women with knee osteoarthritis. A single blinded randomized controlled trial conducted at Department of Physiotherapy, University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Defense Road, Lahore. Total 60 participants were randomly assigned in to two groups, with 30 in each group The intervention group received routine physiotherapy program combined with Low Intensity Blood Flow Restriction Technique (LI-BFR. While control group were treated with only routine physiotherapy. Dynamometer was used to assess the knee extensor strength while Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score was used to record any exacerbation in pain and effects of BFR on activities of daily living. Training load determined 20% of 1RM. Data analysis had done on SPSS version 23.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common health problems around the world. According to this, several interventions have been used to treat this group of patients including pharmacological and non-pharmacological management such as weight reduction, behavior modification, and physical therapy. Recently, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) has been used to treat patients with KOA. The results of previous studies showed that HILT could help to reduce pain as well as improved function in patients with mild to moderate KOA. However, there were still no standardized guidelines for HILT treatment in KOA. Also, no previous studies evaluated the efficacy of HILT in patients with severe KOA. The present study, therefore, recruited not only mild to a moderate degree but also severe degree. The study aim was to determine the efficacy of HILT in terms of pain relief in patients with mild, moderate, and severe KOA. The hypothesis was HILT would effectively reduce pain in patients with KOA compared to sham laser plus conservative treatment.

The aim of the study is to compare effects of calisthenics and neuromuscular training in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

This study aime to investigate the effects of balance and proprioception exercises using two different methods (classical balance training and Balance System™ SD) in addition to strengthening exercises on dynamic balance, pain, functional status and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the neuromuscular and perceptual responses, pain intensity and performance in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis in a preoperative setting with low-load resistance training with a self-regulated mathematical dual-task.

Gonarthrosis is a frequent cause of knee pain and mostly related to altered function of the knee. Intra-articular injections are a valuable noninvasive medical treatment of choice for pain management and functional enhancement. This study aims to investigate the effects of intra-articular injections without local anesthesics which are well known to be chondrotoxic. For this purpose, functional data of the patients who received intra-articular injections have been collected and analyzed.

Knee osteoarthritis is the most common kind of arthritis that occurs due to degeneration of the joint articular cartilage, producing pain, stiffness, and impaired movement. Kinesio taping is a simple and inexpensive therapeutic procedure that can help with knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Kinesio taping is a high-stretch elastic adhesive material that allows the treated area to have free mobility. This technique was preferred by physical therapists for knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation because of its positive effects, such as decreased pain and increased mobility and muscular performance.
