Journal Title: Journal of Chalmeda AnandRao Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease that affects synovial joints causing degeneration and destruction of hyaline cartilage. The primary goals for OA therapy are to relieve pain, maintain or improve functional status, and minimize deformity. Objective: To find out the effectiveness of isotonic and isometric exercise of quadriceps for OA knee with combination of modalities Subjects 30 subjects on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Materials and Methods: The data for the study was collected from Acharya Physiotherpy clinic and rehabilitation centre and sumangali seva ashram. The research includes collection of data and questionnaire. Pain was measured by VAS and knee outcome survey scale for ADLS of knee. Result: Results of this study showed that ES and TENS along with isometric and isotonic exercise of quadriceps is useful to treat the chronic OA knee, in which TENS combined with isometric and isotonic exercise is more beneficial when compared to ES modality of physiotherapy on reliving the decreasing PAIN and improving ADLS. Conclusion: TENS combined with isometric and isotonic exercise of quadriceps is significantly reducing pain and improving functional performance in patients with chronic osteoarthritis of knee joint.
