Paper Title:
EFFECTIVENESS OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE EXERCISES AND SIX WEEK RETRO WALKING PROGRAM TO REDUCE PAIN, IMPROVE MUSCLE STRENGTH AND PHYSICAL FUNCTION IN OSTEOARTHRITIS KNEE
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common skeletal condition affecting quality of life of adults. It is the most frequent joint disease with a prevalence of 22% to 39% in India. OA is strongly associated with aging and heavy physical occupational activity. The overall prevalence of knee OA was found to be 28.7%. OA is more common in women than men, but prevalence dramatically increases with age. Nearly 45% of women over the age of 65 years have symptoms while radiological evidence is found in 70%.
AIM: To find out the effect of proprioceptive exercises and six-week retro walking program to reduce pain improve muscle strength and physical function in osteoarthritis knee.
Materials and Methods: Subjects were chosen according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Informed consent will be taken from subjects meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects will be screened and base line data. Subjects will be divided into two groups using simple random sampling.
RESULTS:
The results suggest that the mean NPRS post score in group A was 2.466 with a standard deviation 0.516 and the mean NPRS post score in group B was 4.533 with a standard deviation 1.187 which was statistically significant (p value < 0.001).The mean MMT post score in group A flexors, extensors, abductors was(4.266,4.00,4.2) with a standard deviation (0.457,0.534,0.414) and the mean MMT post score in group B flexor, extensor, abductor was 3.466 with a standard deviation 0.516 which was statistically significant (p value <0.001).The mean WOMAC Score post score in group A was 29.666 with a standard deviation 2.768 and the mean WOMAC score post score in group B 36.8 was with a standard deviation 4.843 which was statistically significant (p value <0.001).
CONCLUSION:
From the above statistical analysis and literature review we can conclude that both the groups showed improvement in the parameters selected for the study. Proprioceptive and six-week retro-walking program is effective in reducing pain, improving the muscle strength and physical function in osteoarthritis knee but Proprioceptive exercises are more effective than six-week retro walking program in reducing pain, improving the muscle strength and physical function in osteoarthritis knee.
