Filter by:The aim of this research is to compare the effects of Graston Technique, active release technique and PNF stretching on hamstring flexibility in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis. Randomized controlled trials done at Riphah International University, Islamabad.. The sample size was 45. The subjects were divided in three groups, 15 subjects in Graston Technique group, 15 subjects in active release technique group and 15 in PNF stretching group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non probability purposive sampling technique. Male and female patients greater than 30 years of age, with unilateral or bilateral OA of grade 1 and 2 in Kellegren and Lawrence criteria for knee OA, having UL/BL hamstring tightness, Pain > 3 on NPRS, ROM > 200 from AKE test were included. Tools used in the study are NPRS, AKE test by goniometer, Lower extremity functional index (LEFI) and WOMAC.
The aim of this observer-blinded randomized controlled trial is the evaluation of the influence of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on the outcome of patients receiving total knee replacement (TKA).
The study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in Pakistan Railway Hospital Rawalpindi. A sample of 60 participants will be taken. Patients will be divided into two groups (A&B) of 30 participants in each group by sealed envelope method. Hot pack will be applied to both groups for 15 minutes at the start of intervention. ERGON Technique(IASTM) will be applied to group A along with strengthening exercise. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching will be given to group B along with strengthening exercise. A 35 minute session will be given to the patients and 3 sessions will be given once a week. Intervention will be given for 6 weeks. The outcome measure will be Visual analog Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), and Active Knee Extension Test (AKE) will be measured at baseline and at the end of 6th week. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 22.
In this study, the investigators will be performing intra-articular platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections for patients experiencing pain related to osteoarthritis of the knee. The investigators will be following clinical outcomes, and how they relate to concentrations of the PRP samples as well as following opioid and emergency room utilization pre and post-injection.
The objective of the study was to compare the effects of active release technique and bent leg raise on hamstring flexibility, functional outcomes, and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
This study will include 3 different groups of intervention. First group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied both strengthening and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, 2 days strecthing exercises and 30 minutes walking will be given in seperate days as home program, Second group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied both stretching and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, strengthening exercises and 30 minutes walking will be given in seperate days as home program.Third group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied all stretching, strengthening and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, only 30 minutes walking will be given as home program. The primary outcome measures include the pain, function and the secondary outcome measures include the joint proprioception. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects on outcome measures increasing number of exercises in one session and to determine which exercise types are more suitable to prescribe as a home program.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability of the ultrasound devices and common pain relief gel. The ability of the three treatment approaches to reduce pain, stiffness, and functionality as measured by NRS scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) will be evaluated.
This study compares and evaluates differences in patient-reported outcome, survivorship and radiological analysis between patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with use of either Zimmer Biomet PERSONA Posterior Stabilized (PS) system and Smith&Nephew Journey II Bi-Cruciate Stabilized (BCS) system
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, functional status and self efficacy in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a chronic disease characterized by pain, reduced range of motion, instability and effusion in the joint. Moreover, no study has investigated the effect of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) in comparison with that of a placebo injection in the same patient with bilateral knee OA. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of supervised physiotherapy and home exercises after PRP injection in patients with knee OA. The investigator hypothesized that the supervised physiotherapy program would be more effective in decreasing pain and improving muscle strength, physical function, and quality of life than home exercises following PRP injection in patients with knee OA. A total of 30 patients with complete follow-up to 6 weeks post-intervention; 17 patients randomized to the supervised exercise group and 13 patients randomized to the home exercise group. Subjects were recruited from who had radiographic evidence (Kellgren-Lawrence Grade II-III) of knee OA and ranged from 45 to 70 years of age. Measurements including pain during rest and activity, muscle strength assessment, self-estimated functions of the affected knee and functional performance tests for lower extremity strength were performed.
