Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to find the effect of hip abductor strengthening exercises on pain, range of motion, functional disability and balance in patient with knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

Knee Osteoarthritis

Keywords

Hip Abductor Strengthening; Muscle weakness; knee pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale

  The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale which is used to assess pain. It scores ranges from 0-10, 0 means No pain and 10 means Severe pain. Patient will be asked to verbally report the pain score

  3 weeks

• Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index

  The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is a widely used, validated questionnaire assessing pain, stiffness, and physical function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. It consists of 24 items divided into three subscales: Pain (5 items), Stiffness (2 items), and Physical Function (17 items).

  3 weeks

• Timed Up and Go test

  The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test measures the time taken by a participant to stand up from a standard chair, walk a distance of 3 meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. It assesses dynamic balance and functional performance.

  3 weeks

• Single leg stance

  The Single leg stance (SLS) Test is used to assess static postural and balance control. Participants are instructed to stand on one leg unassisted, with eyes open and hands on hips. The duration for which the position is maintained is recorded.
