Conditions

  • Osteo Arthritis Knee
  • Ultrasound Therapy; Complications

Interventions

DEVICE

Pulsed Ultrasound

Active US therapy will be administered using a device 4cm², 1- MHz US with a sound-head area of effective 4cm, radiating area of 3.5 to a beam non-uniformity ratio of cm². 5:1, and a therapeutic dose of approximately 112.5J/ That is, the pulsed US will be delivered for 9.5 minutes with a peak intensity of 1W/cm² at a 20% duty cycle, to achieve a spatial-temporal average intensity of 0.2W

DEVICE

Pulsed Electromagnetic field

The patient's knee will be placed between 2 plates coil applicator generating a magnetic field intensity of 1.5 mT and a frequency of 75Hz.

OTHER

Traditional exercise program

Stretching exercises, Isometric quadriceps exercise, Straight leg raising (SLR) exercise, Isometric hip adduction exercise, Hip abductor strengthening, Hip extensor strengthening, Hip external rotator strengthening

DEVICE

Sham Pulsed US & Electromagnetic field

The patients will receive Sham Pulsed US \& Electromagnetic field.
