Brief Summary

The aim of my study is to determine the effects of hip abductors strengthening and quadriceps strengthening in comparison with quadriceps strengthening alone in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

Osteoarthritis Knees Both

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

  Changes from baseline- The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a self-reported, or clinician administered, measurement tool consisting of a numerical point scale from 0-10 with extreme anchors of '0-no pain' to '10-extreme pain'. The scale ranges most commonly from 0-10 or 0-100, and can be administered in written or verbal form. 0 means " no pain" ands 10 or 100 means "Worst pain imaginable"

  6 weeks

• Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

  Changes from baseline- The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index is a tested questionnaire to assess symptoms and physical functional disability in patients with Osteoarthritis of the knee and the hip. The function dimension explores the degree of difficulty in 17 activities. Its score ranges from 0-96. 0 represents the best health status and 96 the worst possible status

Interventions

Hip Abductor Strengthening OTHER

Elastic resisted training of Hip Abductors (5-10 seconds hold) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week. Elastic resisted training of Quadriceps (5-7 seconds hold) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week. Static Stretching of 5 seconds hold (Calf, Hamstrings, Gluteal muscles and Iliotibial band) 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week. Patellar Mobilization in all four directions 10 repetitions x 3 sets, 3 alternate days per week. Total 18 sessions were given in 06 weeks.
