Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common joint disease, lowers quality of life, restricts social activity participation, and results in incapacity. Osteoarthritis is characterised by changes in subchondral bone, meniscus degeneration, cartilage loss, and synovial inflammation. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of this disease. Various treatment approaches have been shown in numerous studies to be successful in improving the condition of individuals with osteoarthritis in the knee. We are presenting a case of a 47-year-old woman who had bilateral osteoarthritis in her knees. We created a six-week treatment plan for this patient that incorporates a number of advanced therapy techniques, including Mulligan mobilisation, Kinesio taping, and plyometric exercise sessions. We created a thorough rehabilitation programme for our patient, who had osteoarthritis in her knee, and it worked incredibly well. We assessed the efficacy of our outcome measures using a variety of outcomes, including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), visual analogue scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and manual muscle testing (MMT). It was found to be more beneficial to provide modern physiotherapeutic approaches in addition to a traditional physiotherapy course for improving the overall health and quality of life of the patient.
骨关节炎(OA)是最常见的关节疾病,会降低生活质量,限制社会活动参与,并导致残疾。骨关节炎的特征是软骨下骨改变、半月板退变、软骨丢失和滑膜炎症。物理治疗在维持这种疾病的稳定性方面起着至关重要的作用。众多研究表明,各种治疗方法在改善膝关节骨关节炎患者的病情方面均取得了成功。我们报告一例47岁女性双膝患有骨关节炎的病例。我们为该患者制定了一个为期六周的治疗计划,其中纳入了多种先进治疗技术,包括麦吉利根松动术、肌内效贴扎术和增强式训练课程。我们为这位患有膝关节骨关节炎的患者制定了一个全面的康复计划,并且效果非常好。我们使用多种结果指标评估了治疗效果,包括西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数(WOMAC)、膝关节损伤和骨关节炎疗效评分(KOOS)、视觉模拟量表(VAS)、活动范围(ROM)和徒手肌力测试(MMT)。结果发现,除了传统物理治疗课程外,提供现代物理治疗方法对改善患者的整体健康和生活质量更有益。
