Study Details

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, also referred to as degenerative joint disease, is normally due to wear and tear and progressive cartilage loss in the articular cartilage. Osteoarthritis is most prevalent condition among older adults. The objective of the study will be to compare the effects of Sahrmann's approach versus conventional treatment on pain, valgus angle and functional disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Arms

  • Experimental: Sahrmann's exercises
    Dr. Shirley Sahrmann's Movement System Impairment (MSI) approach for knee osteoarthritis operates on the kinesiopathologic model: it asserts that repetitive faulty movement patterns and sustained improper alignments-not just age or wear-are primary drivers of joint stress and cartilage breakdown
  • Active Comparator: Standard Physical therapy
    Comparator group patients will receive, Conventional treatment exercises. • ROMs, SLR, VMO's and Quadriceps strengthening, Partial squatting, Terminal knee extension ROM, ITB, Hamstrings and gastrocnemius stretching
