About

In this study i will see the effects of kinesthetic exercises and sensory motor training on pain and range of motion in patients with knee OA.

Full description

In 2022 a A Pilot Randomized Trial of Different Weekly Applications of Kinesthesia, Balance and Agility Exercise Program for Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis was conducted.In 2023 A critically appraised research was conducted on Sensorimotor or Balance Training to Increase Knee-Extensor and Knee-Flexor Maximal Strength in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis.

In past there is no study that compares the effects of SMT and kinesthetic exercises in knee OA.

---

34 participants in 2 patient groups

sensory motor training along with conventional therapy.

Experimental group

Description:

This group will receive sensory motor training exercises after the conventional therapy. The participants who will be allocated to the SMT group received the same warm-up and stretching program as the CT group, with the same duration and frequency of treatment, but with replacement of the strengthening program with a program emphasizing agility, coordination and balance.

Treatment:

Other: sensory motor training

kinesthetic exercises along with conventional therapy.

Active Comparator group

Description:

Group will receive kinesthetic balance exercises after the conventional therapy. All agility-based exercises will be conducted before progressing to balance exercises. For the balance exercises, the participants performed static and dynamic balance exercises with eyes open and then closed by standing on a hard surface and then standing on a soft surface.

Treatment:

Other: kinesthetic exercises
