Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to determine the influence of core instability exercises in comparison to proprioceptive training in relieving pain, improving balance and physical function in general population of knee Osteoarthritis. The objective is to achieve beneficial results of interventions which can be used in betterment of treatment plan.

Description:

A randomized control trial will be held at Safi hospital Faisalabad after the approval of the synopsis. The study will be double blinded clinical trial. Simple lottery method will be practiced to allocate subjects into two groups. Subjects are selected according to there explained inclusion exclusion criteria. The two groups are differentiated as control group and experimental group. Both the groups will be given the baseline intervention including TENS and Infrared. Along with baseline treatment control group will be given proprioceptive training and experimental group will be given core instability exercises. The evaluation is done before the research begin, after 6 weeks, after 12th week and Follow up on 16th week at the end of therapy. The outcomes will be assessed through Visual Analog Scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index and Fullerton Advanced Balance scale. The data will be recorded pre and post treatment and compared after 12th week. Informed consent should be signed by each patient and analysis is done by Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 21.

Intervention

Other:
• Conservational Physical Therapy and Proprioceptive Strength Training
The proprioceptive training cycle consist of squats, single leg stand, slide steps , forward and backward step, toe walking , heel walking , side sway etc.
• Conservational Physical Therapy and Core Instability Strength Training
Core stability is essential part of lower limb rehabilitation; it is also known protocol which includes group of exercises in both standing and sitting improving biomechanics and functional performance of the body.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Kellgren Lawrence scale	Kellgren-Lawrence classification is typically applied within the context of knee Osteoarthritis. Based on the radiographic features, the severity of Osteoarthritis is given a grade from 0 to 4, with grade 0 signifying no presence of Osteoarthritis and grade 4 signifying severe Osteoarthritis.	12th Week
Primary	Visual Analogue Scale	Visual Analogue Scale is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured.	12th Week
Primary	Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale	The Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale assesses both static and dynamic balance under varying sensory conditions. Balance is measured in this test in active older adults who have higher levels of function.	12th Week
Primary	Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities osteoarthritis Scale	The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis scale is widely used to assess pain, stiffness, and function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.	12th Week
