Official title

Integrating Trunk Stabilization Exercises With Conventional Rehabilitation Protocol for Osteoarthritis in Patients With Knee-Spine Syndrome

Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effects of integrating trunk stabilization exercises with conventional rehabilitation in patients with knee-spine syndrome. It further examines whether improving trunk stability can reduce knee pain and enhance functional outcomes in knee osteoarthritis

Detailed description

This study aims to evaluate the effects of integrating trunk stabilization exercises with conventional rehabilitation protocols for patients with knee-spine syndrome. It seeks to determine whether improving trunk stability can positively influence knee joint mechanics, leading to a reduction in knee pain and improvements in physical function, mobility, and overall functional performance in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. The findings may support a more comprehensive rehabilitation approach addressing both spinal and knee involvement in osteoarthritis management.

Interventions

  • Other Trunk Stabilization exercises with conventional Rehab
    The protocol for will be followed for 6 weeks, where individuals will perform trunk stabilization exercises with conventional rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis.
  • Other Conventional Rehabilitation
    The protocol for will be followed for 6 weeks, where conventional rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis will be implemented.
