Self-applied vs. Clinician-applied Joint Mobilization for Knee Osteoarthritis
This study is looking at how well self-applied joint mobilization, combined with exercise, works for adults with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers want to see if you doing joint mobilization yourself helps improve daily activities, knee movement, and hip strength. This will be compared to having a physical therapist perform the joint mobilization. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 24 participants. Success will be measured by changes in your knee pain, stiffness, and ability to do daily activities, as reported on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study that will randomly assign participants to one of two treatment groups. It plans to enroll 24 participants.
- What's involved
- You would attend 8-12 physical therapy clinic visits over 6-8 weeks, perform home exercises, and have a brief check-up 6 months later. Each clinic visit will last 45 minutes.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- You will have a follow-up visit 6 months after your physical therapy sessions end.
