About this study

This randomized controlled trial is to compare different frequencies of whole-body vibration (WBV) training on physical function and quadriceps muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis and further will be researched which frequencies are effective for knee OA patients and how much WBV training is useful modality for knee osteoarthritic patients. This research will have significant effects in improving muscle strength and functional level of knee OA patients.

Treatment and study plan

WBV technique

Other

Whole body vibration with frequency of 16-25 Hz were given from week 1-8 for 10 minutes/10 repetitions. Time were increased weekly Convention therapy were hot pack 10 minutes, stretching exercise (SLR) 10 repetition x 3 sets and quadriceps exercise 10 repetition x 3 sets.

3 session/week for 8 weeks

Whole body vibration technique

Other

Whole body vibration with frequency of 26-35 Hz were given from week 1-8 for 10 minutes/10 repetitions. Time were increased weekly Convention therapy were hot pack 10 minutes, stretching exercise (SLR) 10 repetition x 3 sets and quadriceps exercise 10 repetition x 3 sets.

3 session/week for 8 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

    Time frame: 8 week

    Changes from base line WOMAC is a widely used self-administered health status measure used in assessing pain, stiffness, and function in patients with OA of hip and knee. It consists of 3 sections with the total score of 96

  2. 1 Repetition maximum (1 RM)

    Time frame: 8 week

    Changes from base line 1 RM measure muscle strength with maximum amount of weight that a person can possibly lift for one repetition

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: 8 week

    Changes from baseline visual analog scale for pain starting from 0-10

  2. Timed up and Go test (TUG)

    Time frame: 8 week

    Changes from baseline time up and go test to determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking.

  3. 6 minute walk test

    Time frame: 8 week

    Changes from baseline 6 minute walk test measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface
