Abstract Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease which is evolved by deterioration of articular cartilage and hypertrophy of the bone margins is called osteophytes. It commonly affect the women than men with a ratio varying between 1:5 and 1:4 affected with osteoarthritis knee. The worldwide estimate indicates 13% of men and 19% of women, over 40 years affected with OA knee. The patient with OA knee have disability in their proprioception and it is a risk factor for fall injury. Here, structured neuromuscular postural training uses sensory motor training intervention to improve static and dynamic mechanism of balance. Methodology: in this comparative study OA was assessed using WOMAC and balance was assessed by using tinetti scale. After inclusion of the patient separated into two groups. Group A have received SNPT and the group B received isometric exercise alone. Total study duration was 3 month. Result: a total of 30 participants were included. Patient with knee osteoarthritis age between 41-80 years. In that group A showed significant improvement in reducing balance impairment (tinetti: pre- test mean = 16.93, post-test mean 26.87) and functional ability (WOMAC: pre-test 23.73, post- test mean = 13.47) than group B. group A showed significant “P” value <0.0001 for tinetti and WOMAC scale. High statistically significant difference was observed for SNPT treatment. Conclusion: SNPT training improve the balance impairments in OA knee subjects than compared with isometric exercise alone for OA knee.
