Summary

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of knee joint mobilization in patients with knee osteoarthritis having hamstring tightness. Tibiofemoral and tibiofibular joint mobilization and knee traction effect on hamstring muscle length and pain. A randomized controlled trial will be done at Benazir Bhutto Hospital Rawalpindi. The sample size is 44. The Participants are divided into two groups, 22 participants in experimental group and 22 in control group. The study duration is 6 months. Sampling technique applied is purposive non probability sampling technique, patients having Minimum 20% hamstring length shorting, NPRS more than 3,both gender of age 40-65,Pain more than 3 months and with mild to moderate knee OA are included. Tools used in this study are Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), Goniometer and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scale. Data analyzed through Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS)version 23.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

knee joint mobilization and traction

Grade 3 traction (Kaltenborn)from knee fully flexed to end of available Range of motion(ROM). Traction 30 sec, 10 sec rest period, 4reps, total 2 min of traction.3 sets for a total of 6 min of traction mobilization.Grade3 keltonborn tibiofemoral and tibiofibular anterior, posterior mobilization 3 sets10glides/set, 3 times/week on alternative days for 4 weeks. TENS for 20 mins in sitting and strengthening exercises i.e. Quadriceps Setting10 reps, air Cycling 2 min for a bout, straight leg raise (SLR) with weight , Full arc extension 10 reps of each exercise will be carried per session except for full-arc extension and air cycling. Air cycling cont. for 2 min for 1 bout of exercise. Measurement will be taken at base level, after first and last session. Treatment will be given for 3 times/week on alternative days for 4 weeks

OTHER

Post isometric relaxation

Control group include Post isometric relaxation technique on hamstring muscle will be performed in supine lying, hip flexed to 90 degrees knee extended until the point of resistance 20% of maximum effort will be used by patient to create isometric contraction. Patient will be asked to breathe in and hold for 5 to 8 seconds and release both breath and effort then move to new barrier point and process was repeated three times per session TENS and strengthening exercises as mentioned above. This treatment regime will be given for 3 times/week on alternative days for 4 weeks.
