| description | The present study was undertaken with an objective to To compare the effectiveness of
conventional physiotherapy, electromyography (EMG) biofeedback and isokinetic exercise
intervention on person suffering osteoarthritis (OA) of knee. Twenty eight cases on
osteoarthritis of knee from Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) in the age above 50
years old are involved. All cases involved then assessed with Western Ontario And
Mcmaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire, peak torque using Biodex 4
Isokinetic machine, Standing force and knee joint force using Force Platform And
3Dimensional (3D) Qualisys Track Manager software and muscle activation using
electromyoghaphy (EMG). These assessments were done for the screening test and preintervention
base line information. Thereafter they were randomly and equally categorized
into three groups, viz. - Group A (N=9)- consist of control group received conventional
physiotherapy exercise intervention; Group B (N=9) — received electromyography (EMG)
biofeedback exercise intervention and Group C (N=10) — received isokinetic exercise
intervention. Group wise respective intervention trainings were imparted for 20 sessions (45-
60 min.s /day; 2 days/ week for 10 weeks). Post-term analyses on all of the variables assessed
in the pre-intervention phase were done on all of the cases after the completion of 10 weeks
of intervention. Findings of this present study clarified that, although all of the interventions
had beneficial impacts, EMG biofeedback intervention was observed as most effective in
enhancement of muscle potentiality, while conventional exercise also was observed as having
satisfactory outcomes. Further to that, compared to other intervention techniques, EMG
biofeedback was also observed as mostly suitable in modulating fatigability in the subjects
while Isokinetic training also were observed to have slight improvement in fatigue
management. EMG biofeedback was also observed to improve in peak torque; while
Isokinetic intervention was not at all beneficial for improvement in peak torque. |
