Official title
Comparison of Aquatic and Land-Based Mulligan Mobilization With Movement on Pain, and Function in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Overview
This study aims to compare the effects of aquatic and land-based Mulligan mobilization with movement in individuals with knee osteoarthritis, with particular focus on their impact on pain and functional outcomes.
Detailed description
This study aims to compare the effects of aquatic and land-based Mulligan mobilization with movement in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Specifically, it will examine and compare the impact of both intervention approaches on pain intensity and functional ability. By evaluating these outcomes, the study seeks to determine whether the aquatic environment offers additional therapeutic benefits over land-based treatment, thereby contributing to improved functional performance and overall quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Interventions
- Other Aquatic Mobilization with Movement
This intervention group will receive treatment for four weeks inside the pool, in addition to the conventional knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation protocol. - Other Land Mobilization with Movement
This intervention group will receive treatment for four weeks on land, in addition to the conventional knee osteoarthritis rehabilitation protocol.
Primary outcome measures
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [Time frame: 4 weeks]
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) [Time frame: 4 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Range of Motion of Knee [Time frame: 4 weeks]
- Time Up and Go (TUG) [Time frame: 4 weeks]
- Intrinsic Motivational Inventory (IMI) [Time frame: 4 weeks]
