Brief summary
In this study i will see the effects of kinesthetic exercises and sensory motor training on pain and range of motion in patients with knee OA.
Detailed description
In 2022 a A Pilot Randomized Trial of Different Weekly Applications of Kinesthesia, Balance and Agility Exercise Program for Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis was conducted.In 2023 A critically appraised research was conducted on Sensorimotor or Balance Training to Increase Knee-Extensor and Knee-Flexor Maximal Strength in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis. In past there is no study that compares the effects of SMT and kinesthetic exercises in knee OA.
Interventions
in this group 17 participants will receive conventional therapy and then followed by kinesthetic exercises. 3 sessions per week includes 10 repetitions with 3sets.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| VAS | 6th week | The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| goniometer | 6th week | a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position |
| WOMAC questionaire | 6th week | Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis index is a multidimensional self-reported disease-specific questionnaire that assesses pain, stiffness and physical disability in patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint. The Swedish version of WOMAC is a reliable, valid, and responsive instrument with metric properties in agreement with the original widely used version.(16 |
| joint position sense test | 6th week | Joint position sense is one of the most commonly used measures of proprioception. Determining JPS involves measuring the accuracy of joint-angle The joint position reproduction test for JPS using goniometry demonstrated moderate to good test-retest reliability and acceptable measurement error in healthy adults.replication,which can be conducted actively or passively and in an open or closed chain environment. |
