Summary

As the aging population continues to grow, there is a pressing need to explore effective interventions to alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis, particularly in postmenopausal women who may experience unique challenges. Osteoarthritis (OA) is progressive joint disease characterized by joint inflammation and a reparative bone response and is one of the top five most disabling conditions that affects more than one-third of persons \>65 years of age, commonly affecting hands, feet, spine, hips, and knees. Among the various therapeutic modalities, stretching exercises, both dynamic and static, have gained attention for their potential to enhance joint flexibility, reduce pain, and improve functional outcomes.

Detailed description

The study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in Jinnah Hospital, Mafaza-Tul-Hayat Hospital Lahore and Mayo Hospital Lahore. This study will be completed in time duration of 7 months after the approval of synopsis. Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used and 58 participants will be recruited in study after randomization. The subjects will be divided into two groups. Group A will receive dynamic stretching of hamstrings and quadriceps with static stretching and Group B will receive dynamic stretching without static stretching after warm up as baseline treatment. The tools that will be used are Osteoarthritis outcome scale Goniometer Lower extremity function scale, Strength, MMT, NPRS, after data collection data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 21

Conditions

• Postmenopausal
• Knee Osteoarthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dynamic stretching	Group A will receive 2\*10 repetitions of dynamic stretching of hamstrings and calf muscles in standing position after application of hot pack (standard size which had been stored in a hydro collator tank of 74.5-80°C for 30 minutes) with 6-8 layers of towel was applied on lower extremity for 10 minutes The subjects will be asked to stand upright with their feet parallel and facing forward with hands holding onto something. Each treatment session will last for 30 minutes. The protocol will be repeated every day for 5 days from the first day of treatment.
OTHER	Static stretching	Group B will receive 2\*10 repetitions of static stretching of hamstrings and quads in standing position after application of hot pack (standard size which had been stored in a hydro collator tank of 74.5-80°C for 30 minutes) with 6-8 layers of towel was applied on lower extremity for 10 minutes. The subjects will be asked to stand upright with their feet parallel and facing forward with hands holding onto something. Each treatment session will last for 30 minutes.
