Abstract Introduction:
Knee osteoarthritis is a non-inflammatory, painful and degenerative joint disease; pathologic changes in osteoarthritis involve progressive hyaline joint cartilage loss with concomitant changes in subchondral bone and development of osteophyte. About symptomatic knee osteoarthritis affect 13% of women and 10% of men aged 60 years and older. Men have a lower prevalence of knee osteoarthritis than women. The tool used to measure pain intensity, physical functions in this study is WOMAC scale and to assess the range of motion by Universal goniometer.
Aim :
To Evaluate the Effectiveness of Ultrasound with Isometric quadriceps exercise and retro walking in osteoarthritis of knee.
Method :
A Total 30 both male and female participants between 45 to 65 years of age selected from RJS Group of institute of kopargaon , Kothari hospital kopargaon by using purposive sampling method according to the inclusion criteria. The total duration of the study is 3 weeks .total 30 participants allocated into two groups A and B 15 in each group. In group A were intervention Ultrasound with isometric quadriceps exercise and group B Ultrasound with retro walking were given for 3 weeks. Pre intervention and post intervention by WOMAC score and universal goniometer were taken analyzed compared using paired’ test.
RESULT:
As per statistical analysis both groups shown significant improvement but group B ( Ultrasound with Retro walking )was having most significant improvement as compare to group A ( Ultrasound with Isometric quadriceps exercises).
CONCLUSION :
This study concluded that Ultrasound with Retro walking was effective in participants with Osteoarthritis of knee .Hence there is reduction of pain, improving range of motion at knee joint and functional mobility, Activity of daily living in participants with osteoarthritis of knee.
