Effects of the Egoscue Exercises With and Without Mwm Among Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

MI-összefoglaló

A vizsgálat saját részvételi feltételeiből. Gép olvasta ki az oldalon álló regiszterszövegből, ezért tévedhet. Hogy ki vehet részt, azt a lenti regiszterszöveg és a vizsgálat csapata dönti el.

The trial is looking for adults aged 40 to 60 with knee osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis of the knee). It compares Egoscue exercises with and without MWM, a hands-on therapy technique.

Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

Knee osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disorder characterized by joint pain, stiffness, limited mobility, and reduced quality of life. It primarily affects the elderly population and poses a major burden on functional independence and healthcare resources. While various physiotherapy approaches have shown benefits in managing KOA symptoms, Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement is a manual therapy technique that has gained clinical attention for improving pain and joint mechanics. Similarly, Egoscue postural alignment exercises, which focus on restoring musculoskeletal balance through corrective movement patterns, have shown potential in addressing chronic pain and postural dysfunction, though evidence remains limited in knee osteoarthritis populations. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Egoscue exercises with and without MWM on pain, range of motion, balance, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis

A vizsgálat 2 csoportja

• Egoscue exercises with MWMA vizsgált kezelés

  Combining the Egoscue Method and Mobilization with Movement (MWM) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a powerful, evidence-based approach. Egoscue corrective exercises restore whole-body postural alignment, while MWM-a manual therapy technique pioneered by Brian Mulligan-corrects joint positional faults by actively moving the knee pain-free.

• Egoscue Exercises without MWMMár használt kezelés, összehasonlításként

  The Egoscue Method approach for knee osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on improving alignment, hip function, ankle mobility, and muscle balance rather than strengthening the knee in isolation.
