Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is referred to a group of conditions that involve mostly the larger weight-bearing joints such as the hip, knee, and ankle. It is the result of an intricate, multifaceted, progressive softening and break-down of articular cartilage along with capsular fibrosis and re-growth of new cartilages and bones called osteophytes at the margin of the articular surfaces to increase the surface area of them.

The current study aimed to find out the efficacy of specified manual therapies in combination with a supervised exercise protocol on managing pain intensity and functional disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Supervised exercise protocol

Strengthening exercises:It included a sets/group of exercises such as a static quad set in knee extension, standing terminal knee extension, seated leg-press, partial squats weight-lessened with arm support as needed, and step-ups Stretching Exercises:A slow, sustained stretching was performed in different positions for different group of muscles with holding time 30-seconds, a gap of 1-minute between two repetitions, and repeated 3-times per session on alternate day for 2-weeks. The stretching performed for the calf muscle, hamstring muscle, and quadriceps femoris muscle in standing, supine, and prone positions respectively.

OTHER

Specified Manual Therapies

Myofascial Mobilization: Patellar glide performed in all available ROM and direction such as superior-inferior and lateral-medial translation/glides of patella over patellar fossa. Myofascial manipulation technique: Manipulation of knee joint. An impulse type thrust was delivered, directed in the caudal direction to mobilize the joint in a near-full extension position.
