Comparing the Effects of Macquarie Injury Management Group Protocol and Targeted Knee Exercise Program on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Patients With Grade II Knee Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Green International University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the macquire injury management group protocol and targeted knee exercise program works to treat knee osteoarthritis grade 2.This clinical trial compares the effects of macquire injury management group protocol and targeted knee exercise program on pain and range of motion and functional disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis grade 2.Adults with knee osteoarthritis grade 2 were included in this study. A total of 84 participants were divided into two groups with 42 patients in each group. One group received macquire injury management group protocol and the other group received targeted knee exercise program. Pain was assessed using the numeric pain rating scale and functional disability was measured using WOMAC index. Range of motion was also evaluated before and after treatment by universal goniometer.

Conditions
Interventions
Macquire injury management group protocol
The patients were made to lie down in a supine position and their knee joints were in an extended position during the treatment. In order to perform the soft tissue mobilization, the physiotherapist gently worked on the soft tissues of the knee joint for about two to three minutes using both his hands. In addition to the manual treatment method, the patients also underwent 45 minutes of physical therapy exercises
Targeted knee exercise program
It comprised of progressively increasing knee exercises for the quadriceps (for example, straight leg raises and terminal knee extensions), hip abductors, and hamstrings. In addition to these exercises, there were also exercises to increase the stability of the joint by means of proprioceptive exercises involving single leg standing and dynamic stability exercises. Functional exercises including sit-to-stand and step up were also included. The intervention period lasted for 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week.
