WBV Training on Physical Function and Muscle Strength in Knee OA

Riphah International University29 enrolled

Overview

In this study compare different frequencies of whole body vibration training on physical function and muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

This randomized controlled trial is to compare different frequencies of whole-body vibration (WBV) training on physical function and quadriceps muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis and further will be researched which frequencies are effective for knee OA patients and how much WBV training is useful modality for knee osteoarthritic patients. This research will have significant effects in improving muscle strength and functional level of knee OA patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

Changes from base line WOMAC is a widely used self-administered health status measure used in assessing pain, stiffness, and function in patients with OA of hip and knee. It consists of 3 sections with the total score of 96

Time frame: 8 week

1 Repetition maximum (1 RM)

Changes from base line 1 RM measure muscle strength with maximum amount of weight that a person can possibly lift for one repetition

Time frame: 8 week

Secondary Outcomes

Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

Changes from baseline visual analog scale for pain starting from 0-10

Time frame: 8 week

Timed up and Go test (TUG)

Changes from baseline time up and go test to determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking.

Time frame: 8 week

6 minute walk test

Changes from baseline 6 minute walk test measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface

Time frame: 8 week
