Efficacy of Modified Progressive Resistance Training on Knee Strength in Women with Early Onset of Knee Osteoarthritis

Abstract

Background: The synovial joint capsule, subchondral bone, and joint cartilage are all impacted by the gradualdegenerative condition known as OA. This research work is designed to check the efficacy of modified progressiveresistance training for OA knee patients.Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of modified progressive resistance training and conventional treatment onknee strength in early onset knee OA.Materials and Methods: 370 subjects were screened for study from GNK physiotherapy clinic according toinclusion and exclusion criteria from november 2022 to june 2023. Patient’s authorization was acquired afterthe procedure was completely clarified to them. They were divided into two categories: Group A (n=185) andGroup B (n=185). The pre and post-test values measured by WOMAC questionnaire and MMT. Group A receivedconventional treatment that is strengthening and stretching exercises and Group B received modified progressiveresistance training using Thera band along with conventional treatment. Both training programs were given for 4weeks, weekly 5 daysResults: A statistically important distinction <0.0001 between groups A and B was found via statistical analysis ofinformation that was quantitative.Conclusion: Modified progressive resistance training using Thera band of group A were proven to be moresuccessful than group A Traditional therapy.
