Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to find out the effects of Mulligan's Squeeze technique added as a complementary treatment to the conventional physiotherapy for the management of meniscal derangement in knee osteoarthritis patients.


Description:

This study was performed to determine the consequences of conventional physical therapy with and without Mulligan's Squeeze technique for meniscal derangement treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This research study was a randomized controlled trial. The sample size was of 26 subjects. The subjects were nominated in accordance to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were equally and randomly divided into two groups. One group received Mulligan's Squeeze technique along with conventional physiotherapy exercises, with hot pack prior to the exercise session. The control group was only given conventional therapy exercises with hot pack application prior to any exercise. The treatment was given for two weeks and a total of six sessions, three sessions each week. The primary outcome measures were Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain rating and goniometer to record range of knee flexion. The secondary outcome measures were Patient-specific functional scale (PSFS) and Knee-injury osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS). The measurements were taken at baseline, at end of first week and after the second week. The data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS software version 27.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Mulligan's Squeeze Technique - manual therapy
This technique was introduced by Brian R. Mulligan. In this technique the therapist places thumb along the tender joint margin and applies force centrally. The patient actively flexes knee and therapist progressively enhances force and at end applies overpressure. This force is decreased as knee moves towards extension. This method helps to maintain the meniscus in its normal position and corrects the derangement of meniscus.
Conventional Physiotherapy
It includes stretching and strengthening exercises of muscles of the knee joint.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) It was used to record the level of knee pain Readings were taken at baseline, after 1st week and at end of 2nd week.
Primary Goniometer It was used to find out the range of movement of knee flexion. Readings were taken at baseline, after 1st week and at end of 2nd week.
Secondary Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) It was used to find out the independence level and dysfunction level of patient. Readings were taken at baseline, after 1st week and at end of 2nd week.
Secondary Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) It is a scale designed specifically for knee problems. It has forty-two questions that cover several aspects of the problems related to knee. Readings were taken at baseline, after 1st week and at end of 2nd week.
