Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of my study is to determine the effects of hip abductors strengthening and quadriceps strengthening in comparison with quadriceps strengthening alone in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Description:

As the quadriceps strengthening is a keystone of exercise therapy for knee osteoarthritis. Thus is the hip abductors strengthening along with quadriceps strengthening would be added to the treatment protocol of osteoarthritis it might give more positive results, decrease pain and increase the recovery rate as well as helpful to improve the functional outcomes.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)	Changes from baseline- The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a self-reported, or clinician administered, measurement tool consisting of a numerical point scale from 0-10 with extreme anchors of '0-no pain' to '10-extreme pain'. The scale ranges most commonly from 0-10 or 0-100, and can be administered in written or verbal form. 0 means " no pain" ands 10 or 100 means "Worst pain imaginable"	6 weeks
Primary	Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)	Changes from baseline- The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index is a tested questionnaire to assess symptoms and physical functional disability in patients with Osteoarthritis of the knee and the hip. The function dimension explores the degree of difficulty in 17 activities. Its score ranges from 0-96. 0 represents the best health status and 96 the worst possible status	6 weeks
Secondary	Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST)	Changes from baseline- Five time Sit-to-Stand Test was related to lower-extremity proprioception, postural sway, strength, and visual contrast sensitivity. Various methods have been used in an attempt to determine how well older adults can rise from a chair have suggested repeating the chair rise 5 times.	6 weeks
