Effects of Myofascial Release and Neuromuscular Training for Pes Anserine Syndrome Associated With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Control Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 80 (actual)
• Sponsor: Dow University of Health Sciences · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 40 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

A randomized control trial will be conducted at the outpatient department of Dow Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A sample size of 80 is calculated using PASS version 11 software. The subjects will be first screened and those who fulfill the inclusion criteria, will be asked to fill the consent form. After selection, the participants will be randomly allocated by the help of computer generated randomization sheet, into two groups i.e. experimental and the control group. The group A will be provided with the myofascial release along with the neuromuscular training whereas the group B will only receive the neuromuscular training. Cold pack will be applied to both the groups. The neuromuscular training consists of warm-up phase, lunges, sideways exercises, wall squats, weight transfer exercises, step up and down and the cool down phase. Total 12 sessions of 35 minutes each will be given to all the participants for about 4 weeks on alternate days. Outcome measures will be analyzed by visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment, goniometry for range of motion and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to evaluate the functional assessment of the patients at the baseline and the post intervention.

Conditions

• Knee Osteoarthritis
• Pes Anserine Bursitis
