Effect of Biomechanical Correction in Medial Tibiofemoral Joint Osteoarthritis

Asir John Samuel5 enrolled

Overview

Effect of Biomechanical Correction of Tibia on Medial Joint space loading, Varus deformity and functional tasks in patients with medial tibiofemoral joint osteoarthritis in which participants will be taken. The outcome measures taken are Trauma CAD Software, NPRS, WOMAC and Goniometery will be measured at the baseline after 3rd week of the intervention.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) are very prevalent chronic disease of the joint which causing the functional disability and pain specifically in older adults. Objective: Purpose of the study is to see that the biomechanical correction on the tibia and varus deformity is effective in the conventional treatment of participants with the KOA. Study Design: A Randomized single group Pretest-Post test Clinical Trial. Methodology: Total '5' subjects were included in the study with the age of 40 to 60 years based on exclusion and inclusion criteria. For the pain, the NPRS will be taken, goniometer taken for the measurement of range of motion, WOMAC will be taken for the physical activity measurement and CAD Software will be taken to see the alignment of the affected limb. Conventional treatment will also be given. Conclusion: Biomechanical correction shows the significant improvement and improves the subject's physical activity and reduces the pain and stiffness.

Biomechanical correctionsOTHER

Biomechanical corrections is to be done to correct the varus deformity of knee joint and for pain management.

Conventional PhysiotherapyOTHER

Conventional therapy includes Hydrocollatoral pack for 20 minutes, Interferential therapy for 15 minutes beat frequency 100 Hz, Sweep frequency 150 Hz and exercise program of 3 sessions for 20 minutes on alternative days for 3 weeks for management of knee osteoarthritis.
