Brief summary

In knee osteoarthritis patients, weakness of hip abductor muscles is considered an important contributing factor leading to the progression of the disease.

Detailed description

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of disease that results from an abnormality in joint function. Osteoarthritis(OA) is a condition that is characterized by progressive loss of articular cartilage of a joint and causes pain. Yamda et al. found that the strength of hip adductors increases with the severity of the disease. This reflects that more use of these muscles lower knee adductor moment 54. Considering this research, knee loads can be altered by strengthening hip muscles. Pakistan is listed in 3rd world countries and the poverty index is high. Many patients show reluctance in going to clinics for the physiotherapeutic management of knee OA. So, the present research intends to investigate the effects of home-based hip strengthening exercise on pain, functions, and range of motion in elderly knee osteoarthritis patients.
