Online published on 26 October, 2018. Abstract Purpose of study Altered biomechanics of knee due to ageing & osteoarthrosis may affect ROM of knee rotations Aim 1) To compare ROM of knee rotations in asymptomatic subjects & patients with knee osteoarthrosis.2) To find out co-relation between knee rotations & knee outcome survey score Methodology: Study design Cross-Sectional study sample: 50 Study Setting Physiotherapy department, Pravara rural hospital, Loni Inclusion Criteria -Age 50–70 yrs. Gender both males & femalesGroup A-asymptomatic subjects without any low back, hip, knee & ankle pain. Group B-diagnosed osteoarthrosis patients stageIII on Kellgren and Lawwrence scale Exclusion Criteria Patient with history of fall and blunt trauma over Back, lower limbs. Patient with chronic and acute low back pain. History of any surgery of lower limb. Patient with any knee joint pathology like osteomyelitis, chondromalacia patellae, bone tumour Result Statistical analysis was done using Unrelated ‘t’ test which showed significant difference (p‹0.05) between medial rotation symptomatic&asymptomatic subjects. There is significant co-relation (p<0.05 &r=0.7) between ROM of medial rotation & KOS score, with decrease in medial rotation, KOS score decreases Conclusion Medial rotation decreases in osteoarthrosis knee patients as compared to Asymptomatic subjects. Reduced medial rotation causes increase in disability Top Keywords Medial rotation of knee, knee disability survey score, osteoarthrosis knee. Top |
