Knee osteoarthritis, strength training, balance, endurance.

Osteoarthritis is a common condition that affects a large number of individuals, especially older adults. Strength training exercises help in improving the strength and endurance of the muscles surrounding the knee joint, which can reduce the load on the joint and improve joint stability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two different exercise protocols i.e., isometric exercises and strength training in combination with hot pack therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The study included 20 subjects between the age group of 40-50 years. the subjects reported a reduction in pain after the strength training program. The pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS), and the mean score before the program was 6.7, which reduced to 4.3 after the program. The mean score for balance before the strength training program was 10.2, and after the program, it improved to 13.5. Similarly, the mean range of motion before the program was 70 degrees, which improved to 85 degrees after the program. These improvements were statistically significant (p<0.05). The study also showed that both isometric exercises and heat pack therapy are effective in reducing pain and improving strength in knee arthritis patients. By addressing the underlying weakness and instability associated with knee arthritis, strength training may offer a promising approach to managing this condition. This finding highlights the importance of considering a multimodal treatment approach, which includes strengthening exercises, in the management of knee arthritis. Keywords: Knee osteoarthritis, strength training, balance, endurance.
