The Effect of Eight Weeks Land-Based Exercise on Static and Dynamic Stability of Elderly Women with Knee Osteoarthritis During Walking

Increasing the quality of life and reducing the risk of falling, as well as reducing costs related to people with Knee osteoarthritis

The current clinical trial study has intervention and control groups with a parallel design, where 30 women with Knee OA were divided into two groups using a simple randomization method with the help of sealed envelopes.

The research is based on pre-test and post-test and is conducted at the Musculoskeletal Disorders Research Center of Isfahan Medical Sciences, Faculty of Rehabilitation. There is no blinding.

Inclusion criteria: Individuals with knee osteoarthritis severity of grade 2 or 3 are determined based on the Kellgren-Lawrence scale through radiography. Self-reported knee osteoarthritis has been officially documented, detailing symptoms such as pain in the past month and morning stiffness. Exclusion criteria: heart disease or uncontrolled blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, any neurological disease such as epilepsy, dizziness, stroke or Parkinson's disease, joint injection in the last three months, traumatic surgery of the lower limbs, any injury, recent knee arthroplasty, lower limb arthroplasty, hip and ankle arthritis, as well as other joint diseases other than knee arthritis, participation in any physiotherapy or hydrotherapy treatment in the past three months, use of medical equipment to help walking As with crutches, the worsening of the patient's symptoms during treatment sessions is the patient's failure to complete exercise sessions.

In the training group, Muscle release, muscle stretching and strength training will be done for eight weeks. In the control group, people will not do any exercise for eight weeks.

Encouraging people to exercise, increasing the quality of life, increasing awareness of knee osteoarthritis

A simple randomization method was used for randomization. For this purpose, a number of sealed opaque envelopes were considered. In this method, mail envelopes with the name of one of the intervention and control groups were registered to the number of subjects, and after merging the envelopes, the subject chose an envelope and its allocation was recorded. In order to hide the random sequence, sealed and waxed opaque envelopes with random sequence were used. After creating a random sequence based on the sample size, a number of envelopes with non-transparent envelopes (in order to make the contents of the envelopes unclear) were prepared and each of the random sequences created was recorded on a card and the cards were placed inside the envelopes in order. In order to preserve the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes was numbered in the same order. Finally, the lid of the letter envelopes was glued and placed in a box in order.
