Therapeutic Exercises for Pain and Disability in Knee Osteoarthritis

Официальное название

Effectiveness of Therapeutic Exercises in Reducing Pain and Disability in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients in Older Adults

Обзор

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of structured therapeutic exercises in reducing pain and disability among older adults diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. The intervention will involve a supervised physical therapy program targeting muscle strength, joint mobility, and functional capacity. Participants will undergo 6 weeks of therapy, and improvements in pain and physical function will be measured using validated scales.

Подробное описание

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of chronic pain and mobility limitations in the elderly population. Therapeutic exercises play a significant role in managing OA symptoms by strengthening the quadriceps, improving joint flexibility, and reducing stiffness. This study will enroll 60 participants aged 50-75 years diagnosed with knee OA. They will undergo a combination of strengthening, range of motion (ROM), and stretching exercises tailored to their condition. The intervention also includes adjunctive modalities such as hot pack and TENS to reduce pain and facilitate muscle engagement. Outcome measures will assess pain intensity, functional ability, and lower limb endurance before and after the intervention.
