Effects of Sensory Motor Training and Kinesthetic Exercises in Knee Osteoarthritis.

Riphah International University34 enrolled

Overview

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.

In 2022 a A Pilot Randomized Trial of Different Weekly Applications of Kinesthesia, Balance and Agility Exercise Program for Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis was conducted.In 2023 A critically appraised research was conducted on Sensorimotor or Balance Training to Increase Knee-Extensor and Knee-Flexor Maximal Strength in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis. In past there is no study that compares the effects of SMT and kinesthetic exercises in knee OA.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

VAS

The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels.

Time frame: 6th week

Secondary Outcomes

goniometer

a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position

Time frame: 6th week

WOMAC questionaire

Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis index is a multidimensional self-reported disease-specific questionnaire that assesses pain, stiffness and physical disability in patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint. The Swedish version of WOMAC is a reliable, valid, and responsive instrument with metric properties in agreement with the original widely used version.(16

Time frame: 6th week

joint position sense test

Joint position sense is one of the most commonly used measures of proprioception. Determining JPS involves measuring the accuracy of joint-angle The joint position reproduction test for JPS using goniometry demonstrated moderate to good test-retest reliability and acceptable measurement error in healthy adults.replication,which can be conducted actively or passively and in an open or closed chain environment.
