Conditions

Sub-acute pes anserine bursitis.

Interventions

Intervention 1: Control group : Low energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy has been used previously and showed some improvements. Therefore, patients in this group will be considered as the control

Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Age

30 Years to 55 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age 30- 55 years. Both genders - males and females. Educational level literate patients (at least Diploma). Patients with subacute pes anserine bursitis (differential diagnosed by the rheumatologist specialist). Knee pain =3 up to 7 on Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) at first session of assessment. The patients must be able to ambulate at least 30 meters on flat surface without a walking device and also able to perform simple physical exercises with minimal support.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Absent for two or more continuous sessions. Have an enormous increase on pain level. Have a severe decrease function in knee through the sessions Have concomitant disease affecting their knee such as rheumatoid arthritis, recent injury, and surgery of knee. Have had intra- articular corticosteroid injection during last 6 months, history of cancer, dementia, neurologic deficits, heart pacemaker, pregnancy, uncontrolled cardiovascular disorders.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS) 2. McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ) 3. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) 4. Timed Up and Go Test. Timepoint: Before intervention, after 2 weeks and after 3 weeks. Method of measurement: 1. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0 –10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of their pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. Similar to the pain VAS, the NRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes. An 11- point numeric scale, 0 representing one pain extreme (no pain) and 10 representing the other pain extreme (pain as bad as you can imagine and worst pain imaginable). 2. Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire A multidimensional pain questionnaire. The main component of the SF-MPQ consists of 15 descriptors (11 sensory; 4 affective) which are rated on an intensity scale as (0: none, 1 : mild, 2 : moderate or 3 : severe) . Three pain scores are derived from the sum of the intensity rank values of the words chosen for sensory, affective and total descriptors. The SF-MPQ also includes the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) index of the standard MPQ and a visual analogue scale (VAS). 3. Functional activity by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis index. The WOMAC is a widely used, reliable, valid, and responsive measure of outcome in people with OA of the knee .It is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales: Pain (5 items): during walking, using stairs, in bed, sitting or lying, and standing upright, Stiffness (2 items): after first walking and later in the day, Physical Function (17 items): using stairs, rising from sitting, standing, bending, walking, getting in / out of a car, shopping, putting on / taking off socks, rising from bed, lying in bed, getting in / out of bath, sitting, getting	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Timed Up and Go Test. Timepoint: Before intervention, after 2 weeks and after 3 weeks. Method of measurement: Functional Mobility by Timed Up and Go Test .TUG test is a performance-based measure of functional mobility that was initially developed to identify mobility and balance impairments in older adults. The test requires the subject to rise from a chair, walk 3.0 m at a comfortable pace to a mark placed on the floor, turn around at the 3.0 m mark, walk back to the starting point, and return to sitting in the chair. Individuals who take longer than 30 seconds to complete the test need physical assistance with transfers and generally cannot manage steps while Individuals who can complete the test in less than 20 seconds will likely be independently mobile and most can manage steps and walk outside the home.	—
