Filter by:This study aims to compare the efficacy between Boonme stick exercise and quadriceps strengthening exercise in knee osteoarthritis.Patients diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis using Altman criteria will be randomized into 2 groups using simple random technique. Patients will be instructed and trained for both quadriceps or Boonme stick exercise by one-trained physical therapist. All patients will be treated with behavioral modification, NSAIDs and analgesic drugs and regularly follow-up . Assessment included visual analogue scale, exercise compliance, WOMAC and patient satisfaction were done by an assessor in a blinded fashion.
Oral and nasal steroids may enhance osteoporosis by suppressing bone formation. Intra-articular steroids may also suppress bone formation, however, the duration or relationship to a steroid dose has not been established. It is hypothesized that intra-articular steroids suppress bone formation transiently, returning to pretreatment levels within four weeks in subjects with osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to find if autologous stem cell transplantation can improve clinical manifestations of knee osteoarthritis.
