Filter by:The study will be Randomized controlled trail, Subject diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using pain, ROM, function, foot arches and knee alignment as subjective measurement through KOOS questionnaire, goniometer, 2D frontal plane projection, Berkemann foot prints using ink and paper ,30s chair stand test, nine step stair climb,40m fast paced walk test,Global rating of change score respectively . One group will be treated with hip abductor strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises and second group will be treated with intrinsic foot muscle strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises. Post treatment values recorded after the session.After data collection from defined study setting,data will be entered and analyzed at Riphah International University,Lahore
The present study represents the pilot phase of the project aimed at developing anatomical site-specific self-assessment questionnaires (shoulder, knee and ankle) that can advise the subject of the need for an orthopaedic specialist examination. The pilot phase of the project involves the collection of data from questionnaires in a population of subjects who have requested an orthopaedic consultation for the anatomical site covered by the questionnaire. Each questionnaire consists of questions designed to collect information about the patient's subjective condition. The data collected from the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the statistical significance (p value) of each question in the questionnaire in relation to the outcome of the orthopaedic specialist visit. Through a multivariate logistic analysis of the answers given by the subject, it will be possible to 'weight' each answer to obtain a final value that gives an indication of an orthopaedic specialist visit.
In this study i will see the effects of kinesthetic exercises and sensory motor training on pain and range of motion in patients with knee OA.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of single dose and double dose of dexamethasone after primary total knee replacement. The main question[s] it aims to answer [is/are]: Does 24 hours-interval of double dose of dexamethasone have better analgesic effect than single dose and 12 hours interval of double dose of dexamethasone after primary total joint replacement? Researchers will compare double dose of dexamethasone group to see if [insert effects]. Participants will [describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, interventions they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items].
Objective: The knee joint is one of most common locations in OA. In recent years, it has been accepted that there are different pain phenotypes and patient subgroups in knee OA and that central sensitization (CS) mechanisms are at the forefront in some patients. It is also known that fear of movement, known as kinesiophobia, develops in patients with chronic pain. The aim of this study is to investigate CS and kinesiophobia in patients with knee OA, their relationships with each other, and their effects on pain intensity, functional status, pain catastrophizing and depression. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with knee OA and 42 healthy subjects participated in our study. Demographic data, body mass index, habits, comorbidities, medications of participants and disease duration and radiographic grade of knee OA patients were recorded. VAS was used to assess the severity of pain and WOMAC was used to assess pain and functional status in patients with OA. Algometer (pressure pain threshold measurement) and Central Sensitization Inventory were used to evaluate central sensitization in all participants. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured at 3 different points: knee joint, cruris and forearm. The presence of kinesiophobia was assessed with the Tampa Scale af Kinesiophobia (TSK). Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to assess chronic pain related symptoms.
Kinesiophobia after total knee arthroplasty is an important parameter affecting recovery. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and the factors it may cause is not clear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, fear of falling, mobility and proprioception in the early period after total knee arthroplasty.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of adding hip device-assisted concentric abductor strengthening (HDACAS) program to knee device-assisted concentric flexor-extensor strengthening (KDACFES) program on pain, function, physical performance, quality of life and gait parameters in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of autologous alpha-2 macroglobulin rich plasma (A2MRP) injections in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA).
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of water-filtered Infrared-A radiation on patients suffering from hand osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does water-filtered Infrared-A radiation reduce pain and improve the function of finger joints over time? - Are patients satisfied with the treatment results when compared to those who were on a wait-list?
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of three different applications (Manual therapy, electrotherapy and home program) on long-term pain, joint range of motion and, secondarily, the functional level of the knee.
