Brief Summary

Knee osteoarthritis, the disease of knee joint pain caused by joint degeneration, it is the commonest joint disease and had a negative effect on geriatric patients' quality of life (QoL). Proprioceptive exercise and isometric exercise have been recommended as suitable for reducing joint pain and improvement of quality of life in the geriatric patients.

Conditions

Knee Osteoarthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Evaluate the effect of proprioceptive exercises on joint pain among geriatric patients with knee osteoarthritis

  By using Visual Analog Scales (VAS):

  3 months

• Evaluate the effect of proprioceptive exercises on quality of life among geriatric patients with knee osteoarthritis

  By using 36 - Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36).

  3months

Study Arms (2)

The study group received proprioceptive exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

\- The study group included education about definition, components and benefits of proprioceptive exercises for geriatric patients with knee osteoarthritis in the first week. Also, was including proprioceptive exercises that included; One-leg balance, Toe walking, Heel walking, Cross-body leg swings, Blind advanced one leg balance and instructed them to do these 5 exercises (15-20 repetitions of each) per session, 5 day a week.

Procedure: Proprioceptive exercise

the control group received routine exercise (Isometric exercise).

EXPERIMENTAL

the control group included education about definition, benefits and steps of isometric exercise that included participants taking the long sitting position. A role of towel was placed below the affected knee. The participants were then asked to press the towel down and hold it to one minute and then relax. This was repeated again for the other knee and (10-15 repetitions) per session, 5 day a week.

Procedure: Proprioceptive exercise

Interventions

Proprioceptive exercise PROCEDURE

* The first session was included an orientation to the exercises and its purpose to geriatric participants in the first week. Also, pretest was done in the first session before implementing exercises to assess geriatric KOA pain and QOL, each session started by revision about what was given during the previous session and the objectives of the next session. * The 2nd session about exercises. * The 3rd session for repetition of exercises to ensure that the patient has learned it well in the second week. * The 4th session after six weeks later (from wk. (3) to wk. (8) to make posttest after implementation session. * The 5th session after two-month later (from wk. (9) to wk. (16) to do follow up test.

The study group received proprioceptive exercises; the control group received routine exercise (Isometric exercise).
