Brief Summary

This study is to compare the effect of a physiotherapy program to usual care treatment in patients with Osgood Schlatter disease (OSD). Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups. Group 1 will receive the physiotherapy program with myofascial massage, while group 2 (usual care group USC) will receive usual care treatment.

Conditions

Osgood-Schlatter Disease

Keywords

myofascial massage; stretching; home exercises; strengthening; KOOS-Child-Questionnaire

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• change in Knee and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Children (KOOS-Child-Questionnaire Score)

  KOOS-Child is a patient-reported outcome measure employing five-item Likert scales. KOOS-Child covers 5 dimensions (subscales): Pain, Symptoms (titled "Knee problems" in the KOOS-Child), Difficulty during daily activities (ADL), Function in sport and play (Sports/Play) and knee-related Quality of Life (QOL). 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems

  at baseline and 8 weeks after baseline

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Change in Knee pain assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  at baseline and 8 weeks after baseline

• Change in Range of motion (ROM) of knee

  at baseline and 8 weeks after baseline

• Change in Y Balance Test (Lower Quarter)

  at baseline and 8 weeks after baseline

• Time of return to sport activity (in days)

  within 8 weeks after baseline
