Official title: Effects of Patient Education Manual on Pain, Range of Motion and Function in Patient With Knee Osteoarthritis

This RCT was conducted to see effects of patient education manual on pain, ROM and functional performance in patient of knee osteoarthritis. In this study the investigators were provide an educational manual as a home plan in which the investigators educate and guide patients about proper posture, life style modification, precautions and safety measures and home exercise in patient with knee osteoarthritis

Read the detailed description

This RCT was conducted to see effects of patient education manual on pain, ROM and functional performance in patient of knee osteoarthritis. In this study the investigators provide an educational manual as a home plan in which they educate and guide patients about proper posture, life style modification, precautions and safety measures and home exercise in patient with knee osteoarthritis.

The investigators will divide the patients in two groups. One group was treated with the patient education manual and routine physical therapy and the other group was treated with routine physical therapy alone. After baseline assessment patient was assessed at 2nd, 4th and 6th week and then do final assessment to analyse our results on SPSS, either patient education manual is helpful in minimising there pain functional limitation and increasing their Range Of Motion. Visual analogue scale, goniometry and WOMEC was used to measure outcome regarding pain, Range of motion and functional performance in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This study was help full in the management, to improve function and to decrease status of disability in future in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual analogue scale(VAS)

    The VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity.it is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VAS) line, usually 10 centimeters (100 mm) in length. the scale is most commonly anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 100 )[100-mm scale]).

    Measured: 4th day

Secondary outcomes (1)

  1. WOMAC osteoarthritis index

    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 waking 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 on / off toilet, heavy domestic duties, light domestic duties.

    The WOMAC parameters are:

    0-none,1-slight,2-moderate,3-sever,4-extreme.

    Measured: 4th day
