Brief Summary

This study explores the effectiveness of a novel treatment approach for knee osteoarthritis (OA) by comparing the combined use of a new device, "Knee Sync Partner," which provides electrical knee traction with stimulation and strengthening exercises, to traditional strengthening exercises alone. Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of chronic pain and disability worldwide, significantly impacting the quality of life for many individuals, especially with the growing elderly population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• WOMAC Scale

  The scores for each subscale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. Usually a sum of the scores for all three subscales gives a total WOMAC score

Interventions

Exp BEHAVIORAL

Participants in this group will receive treatment using the Knee Sync Partner, a novel portable device designed to provide electrical traction and stimulation specifically for the knee joint. controlled mechanical traction to the knee joint to reduce joint contact pressure, enhance synovial fluid flow, and increase joint space. This is expected to alleviate pain and improve mobility.

Exp Group

control DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

This will include a combination of isometric and isotonic exercises aimed at strengthening the knee musculature, enhancing joint stability, and reducing pain. The exercise regimen will focus on major muscle groups supporting the knee, such as the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles.

Control Group
