Clinical Trial Summary

Joint mobilization and resistance exercise training are effective conservative treatment options for the management of osteoarthritis. However, currently no study has highlighted the supplementary effects of resistance training in addition to joint mobilization in people suffering from knee osteoarthritis. The current study is aimed at bridging the gap in literature and providing evidence regarding the additive impact of resistance training to joint mobilization in knee osteoarthritis.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Walking related performance fatigability	Walking related performance fatigability will be measured using 6 minute walk test. Greater fatigability indicates poorer outcome.	4 weeks
Primary	Stride Length	Gait analysis will be done to analyze stride length. A greater stride length signifies positive outcome and prognosis.	4 weeks
Primary	Gait velocity	Gait analysis will be done to analyze gaot velocity. A greater gait velocity signifies positive outcome and prognosis.	4 weeks
Primary	Knee Pain	Knee Pain will be measured using visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0-100mm. A higher score on VAS indicated greater pain.	4 weeks
Primary	Knee range of motion	Knee range of motion will be measured using a goniometer. A higher ROM signifies positive outcome.	4 weeks
Primary	Functional Disability	Knee functional disability will be assessed using Knee Osteoarthritis and Outcome Score (KOOS) with a score ranging from 0-100. A lower score on KOOS signifies greater functional disability.	4 weeks
Primary	Isometric Muscle Strength	Isometric Muscle Strength will be quantified using dynamometer. A higher score on dynamometer signifies greater muscle strength and good prognosis.	4 weeks
Primary	Functional capacity	5 repetition sit to stand test will be used to determine knee related functional capacity, which will be quantified in terms of time. A smaller time will denote greater functional capacity.	4 weeks
