High Impact Exercise Training Versus Low Impact Exercise Training on Functional Outcome in Subjects with Knee Osteoarthritis: Experimental Study.

| Sumario: | Background: Exercise or physical exercise is suggested for subjects with arthritic knee to improve their pain and functional condition. These therapies, whose success is dependent on a few components, are commonly ignored. Therefore, the proper intensity or load needs to be specified. Depending on the therapy aim exercise intensity might be high or low. Purpose: This study aims to modulate the patient's pain and the secondary outcome was to improve functionality by evaluating high-impact exercise training with low-impact exercise training in subjects with symptomatic knee OA. Materials and Methods: Subjects with OA Knee were selected based on selection criteria. All subjects were assigned to either of the groups; high-impact exercise and low-impact exercise by odd even randomization method. The pre-test values for pain and functional outcome are taken using NPRS and WOMAC questionnaire and the same were recorded for post-test after 8 weeks of intervention. The entire process was performed from November 2022 to March 2023. Result: The statistical analysis reveals a lowering in the pain intensity and notable enhancement in functionality on high-impact exercise training when compared with low-impact exercise training in subjects with arthritic knee. Conclusion: The study's findings indicate that high-impact exercise training affects subjects with knee osteoarthritis by decreasing pain and improving function. |
