\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>Osteoarthritis (OA) of knee is a degenerative joint disease which contributes significantly to functional limitation and disability in older people. It is an important cause of pain which is a major cause of activity limitation, functional disability and reduced health-related quality of life. The aim was to compare the effect of mechanical traction versus conventional therapy on pain and function in participants with knee OA.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods:\u00a0 <\/strong>An experimental study was conducted at college of physiotherapy on 24 participants. Participants were randomly allocated into 2 groups. Group A was given mechanical traction for 10 minutes, and hot pack for 10 min 5 days\/week for 1 week .Group B was given conventional physiotherapy in the form of hot pack to the knee for 10 minutes. Both groups received a set of 10 repetitions of quadriceps drill 5 times\/day for one week. Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) was used to assess knee pain and Lequesne Index (LI)was used to measure physical function.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> Within group difference in NPRS and LI scores were calculated using t test and between groups using Mann Whitney U test. Mean difference in NPRS score for group A was 1.333\u00b10.49,Z=-3.176,p=0.001 and group B was 1.25\u00b10.6215,Z=-3.035,p=0.002. Difference in mean NPRS between the groups 1.33\u00b10.481,U=68, p=0.843. Mean difference in LI score for group A was 5.0833\u00b11.916,Z=-3.066, p=0.002) and for group B was 3.3750\u00b11.625,Z=-3.074,p=0.002. Differences in mean LI scores between the groups was 4.22\u00b11.94,U=35.5,p=0.034.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong>Mechanical traction is more effective in reducing pain and improving physical function in subjects with osteoarthritis knee.<\/p>\n

Key Words: <\/strong>Mechanical traction, Osteoarthritis, Pain, Function.<\/p>\n
