Summary

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease. Knee OA patients sometimes report episodes of knee instability that limit their ADLs. The episodes of instability are similar to those reported in knee ligament injuries. It is believed that modifications of interventions that are used to promote knee stability in knee ligament injuries can be used in knee OA to enhance knee stability and function. The purpose of this study will be to determine the effects of agility and perturbation-based training in addition to routine physical therapy on pain, function, quality of life and disability in knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed description

A Randomized Clinical Trial will be conducted at Al Syed Touqeer Altaf Surgical Hospital through a convenience sampling technique on 26 patients, which will be allocated using computer-generated randomization into two groups. Group A will be treated with agility and perturbation training techniques in addition to the same routine physical therapy as Group B, and Group B will receive only routine physical therapy. Outcome measures will be conducted through NPRS, WOMAC, SF-36, and KOS-ADLs questionnaires. All the outcome measures will be assessed pre and post-treatment, and the assessor will be blind. Frequency of the treatment will be 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25.
