Brief Summary

The purpose of this study will determine the effect of cryotherapy applied to the knee joint on static and dynamic standing balance. It is hypothesized that there will be no change in dynamic postural stability after cryotherapy application.Twenty four individuals (age 18 to 30) participated in the study. They will be randomly divided into two groups, experimental and control group. Each participant, in the experimental group will be asked to perform star excursion balance test (SEBT) under two conditions, before and after the application of cryotherapy. The participants will receive ice pack wrapping of the knee for 10 minutes. The control group performed SEBT at room temperature in an interval of 10 minutes. The two group will be analysed and compared

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from Baseline Star Excursion Balance test at 10 minutes

  Distance reach in 8 directions will be measured

  Upto 10 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the experimental group, the participants will be asked to perform star excursion balance test (SEBT) under two conditions, before and after the application of cryotherapy

Procedure: Cryotherapy

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

In the control group, the participants will be asked asked to perform star excursion balance test (SEBT) under two conditions, before and after 10 minutes rest

Interventions

Cryotherapy PROCEDURE

The cooling procedure for the knee joint will be initiated by using a cryopack or cold-pack. On completion of the initial SEBT, the participant will lie supine and the investigator will apply the cryotherapy for 10 minutes. After the 10 minute period of cryotherapy, the cryopack will be removed, and the participants will perform SEBT for the second time.

Experimental Group
