Summary

The study was conducted to compare the effects of Fascial Distortion Model and Hamstring Stretching on pain, muscle flexibility and physical function in patients with Knee Osteoarthritis.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Fascial Distortion Model

Put direct pressure on the fascia's taut band. The pressure should be just right, firm enough to activate the tissue without causing undue pain or discomfort. The pressure is usually extended across the bands length, or perpendicular to the direction of the band's fibers. Each stroke of the treatment might take between 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the severity of fascial distortion. A typical rule is to work through the band gently and consistently, without rushing, to allow the tissues time to respond. Treatment might be applied for 5 to 10 minutes, 2-3 times per week for 4 weeks

OTHER

Hamstring Stretching

With your legs relaxed and straight, lie on your back. Wrap a towel or strap under your foot arch, around your hamstring, or around your calf. Pull your leg gently in your direction until it stretches. It also entails stretching with the aid of an outside force, such as gravity or a partner. This position was held for 30 seconds, for 3 sets per sessions, 3 times in a week for 4 weeks

OTHER

Standardize Physiotherapy Treatment

Hot pack for 10 minutes. TENS with frequency of 2Hz and pulse duration of 50-200 μs for 10 minutes and Knee strengthening exercise consists of (Isometric quadriceps strengthening exercise, straight leg raises, partial squatting exercise, knee extensor strength exercise) 10 repetition per set, 3 sets per sessions, 3 times in a week for 4 weeks.
