Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis leads to increased pain and instability, but it also significantly hampers daily activities and overall well-being due to a reduced range of motion and decreased functional capacity.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of participatory quadriceps strengthening exercise programme on osteoarthritis
Materials & Methods: A quasi-experimental design was conducted to study the Effectiveness of Participatory Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise Programme on Osteoarthritis among adults. Participants were selected using a Purposive sampling technique from a rural area. A total sample size of 100 (50 in the experimental group and 50 in the control group) suffering from osteoarthritis was included in the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.
Results: In the experimental group pre-test score was subjects 0 (0 %) having mild knee pain, 50 (100 %) having moderate knee pain and none of the subjects had severe knee pain whereas in the control group pre-test score of 24 (48 %) mild, 26 (52%) moderate and no severe knee pain among subjects. After the intervention of quadriceps exercise for 15 days in the experimental group post-test score was 36 (72%) mild, with 14 (28%) having moderate and no severe knee pain whereas in the control group post-test score of 46 (92%) had moderate knee pain and 4 (8%) subjects are having severe knee pain.
Conclusion: Quadriceps exercises effectively reduce knee joint pain and improve function and quality of life for adults. Therapeutic exercise should be utilized to alleviate pain and stiffness while enhancing physical function in adult patients.
