Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Knee Osteoarthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Osteoarthritis, Knee

Intervention

Device:
• Heating pad
Heating pad will be used for heating purpose.
• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS)
TENS is used for symptomatic pain relief

Procedure:
• Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM)
It provides short term pain relief and to restore pain-free, functional movements by achieving full range at the joint
• Kaltenborn joint mobilization
The purpose of joint mobilization is to restore normal, painless joint function. In restricted joints, this involves the restoration of joint play to normalize the roll-gliding that is essential to active movement.
• Resistance Training exercise
Resistance training increases muscle strength by making your muscles work against a weight or force.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	knee pain	knee pain will be measured using visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0-100mm.A higher score on VAS indicated greater pain.	2 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	2 weeks
Primary	Knee range of motion	knee range of motion will be measured using a goniometer. A higher ROM signifies positive outcome.	2 weeks
Primary	Stride length	Gait analysis will be done to analyze stride length. A greater stride length signifies positive outcome and prognosis.	2 weeks
Primary	Gait velocity	Gait analysis will be done to analyze gait velocity. A greater gait velocity signifies positive outcome and prognosis.	2 weeks
Primary	Isometeric Muscle Strength	Isometeric Muscle Strength will be quantified using dynamometer. A higher score on dynamometer signifies greater muscle strength and good prognosis.	2 weeks
Primary	Walking related performance fatigability	walking related performance fatigability will be measured using 6 minute walk test. Greater fatigibility indicates poorer outcome.	2 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.	2 weeks
