Summary

the aim of study is to investigate the efficacy of soft knee brace versus lateral wedge foot insole on pain and proprioception in knee OA

Conditions

  • Knee Osteoarthristis

Interventions

DEVICE

soft knee brace

A commercially available soft brace (orthomedics ser. number 86) plus traditional physiotherapy

DEVICE

lateral wedge foot insole

Wearing Lateral wedge insole 5mm for 8 weeks Standardized non-customized laterally wedged insoles were evaluated. Insoles were made of high-density ethyl vinyl acetate, were wedged approximately 5°

PROCEDURE

convential physical therapy program

Strengthening Exercises: * Quadriceps Strengthening: Exercises like straight leg raises, quadriceps sets, and seated knee extensions help strengthen the quadriceps muscle, which supports the knee joint. * Hamstring Strengthening: Hamstring curls and bridges target the hamstrings to enhance stability and support for the knee. * Hip Strengthening: Exercises such as hip abductions, adductions, and clamshells strengthen the hip muscles (each 3 sets, 10 reps). (Deyle et al ., 2005) Flexibility Exercises: * Hamstring Stretch: Gentle stretching of the hamstrings can alleviate tension around the knee. * Quadriceps Stretch: Stretches like the standing quadriceps stretch help maintain flexibility in the front of the thigh. * Calf Stretch: Stretching the calf muscles can prevent tightness (J. D. Deyle et al 2005) TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Helps manage pain by sending electrical impulses to the affected area.
