Effects of ELDOA Versus Post Facilitation Stretching Technique in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Riphah International University30 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to assess whether Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaption Osteo Articulaire versus post assistance extending strategy have effects on knee torment. and to check its impact on actual capacity.

A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Safi Teaching Hospital, Faisal Teaching Hospital and Allied Hospital Fsd after the synopsis has been approved. Patients will be enrolled using a simple random sampling technique. Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis will be chosen based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion requirements. Patients will receive Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaption Osteo Articulaire, and post-facilitation stretching techniques. Two tools will be used to find out the comparison of both groups; Numeric Pain Rating Scale; for knee pain and Lower Extremity Functional Scale; to check the ability of the patient to perform the everyday task and for evaluation of functional impairments for patients with a disorder of lower extremities. The assessment will need to be done at baseline and follow up will be 15 days after treatment. Each patient will be asked to give their informed consent. Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 20 will be used for data entry and analysis.

Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaption Osteo ArticulaireOTHER

It creates tension in the spine and stretch the fascia and is a myofascial stretch technique and manual physical therapy tool

Post Facilitation StretchingOTHER

Post Facilitation Stretching effectively decreases hamstring muscle tightness while also increasing popliteal angle range. Post-facilitation exercise can help to relieve knee pain. It effectively raises ROM or aligns collagen fibers due to the muscle contraction performed immediately before stretching.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Numeric Pain Rating Scale

The Numerical Pain Rating Scale is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0; no pain at all to 10; worst imaginable pain.

Time frame: 12th Week

Lower Extremity Functional Scale

The Lower Extremity Functional Scale is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. The LEFS can be used by clinicians as a measure of patients' initial function, ongoing progress and outcome, as well as to set functional goals.

Time frame: 12th Week
