Abstract
Objectives:Toevaluate the effect of UST toreduce Swelling, control pain and subsequently improving tenderness,Range of Motion, walk time in OA Knee. Study Design – Prospective randomized controlled parallel group study. Study Area – Osteoarthritis Clinic and OPD of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Deptt. IPGMER, SSKM, Hospital. Sample - Patients with bilateral symmetrical primary OA Knee attending Osteoarthritis Clinic and OPD of PMR. IPGMER, SSKM Hospital from March2008 – october2014. Patients were divided into 2 groups. First group (total no. 33 patients) -risedronate (35mg.) [R]. Second group (total no. 33 patients) -UST and risedronate (35mg.) [RU]. Outcome measures- VAS score for pain, WOMAC (pain, function), ROM by goniometry. Results-InbothgroupsthereissignificantimprovementoccursinSwelling(p=0.024).Pain is decreased in both groups significantly (p=0.000006). Walk time is increased in both groups significantly (p<0.05). There is statistically significant differences observed between group2 vs. group1 (p=0.0149). Discussion- UST is effectivein improving Swelling, ROM, walking time, WOMAC (Stiffness), WOMAC (Physical Function).UST to alleviate symptoms of OA. Conclusion- UST is more efficacious in improving Swelling,ROM, walking time, WOMAC (Stiffness), WOMAC (Physical Function), WOMAC (Total), .
