BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) also known as degenerative joint disease of the knee is typically the result of wear and tear and progressive loss of articular cartilage. It is the most common in the elderly.
AIM: The aim of the study is to compare the effect of LASER therapy versus Phonophoresis along with quadriceps strengthening exercise in patients with knee Osteoarthritis.
METHODOLOGY: This was a cohort. study which took place between 6 to 8 weeks at ACS medical college and hospital. 50 samples were chosen by simple random sampling method.
RESULTS: On comparing Pretest and Post test within Group A & Group B on vas score, WOMAC Score and knee flexion ROM Score shows significant difference in the mean values at P ≤0.05.
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that there is more significant difference in LASER therapy along with quadriceps strengthening exercise is effective when compared to Phonophoresis along with quadriceps strengthening exercise on subjects with knee osteoarthritis. On comparing the mean values there is a significant improvement in reducing pain and ROM in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
