ABSTRACT Study to correlate quadriceps strength, pain and functional disability among osteoarthritis knee patients Submitted By: Divya Ahuja Janvi Ajmera Guided By: Dr. Chandni Parsania (Physiotherapist) Teaching assistant SOPT, RKU. Background: Osteoarthritis of knee is one of the most common disabling degenerative diseases. Knee pain is the hallmark symptom of knee osteoarthritis. We have taken correlation between pain, quadriceps strength and functional disability. Aim: Study to correlate quadriceps strength, pain and functional disability among osteoarthritis knee patients Methodology: Study design: observational study Inclusion criteria: 40-55 years individuals Sample size: 30 Sampling technique: purposive sampling technique Study setting: Different Clinics of Rajkot. Results and Discussion: In this study we have taken Karl Persons Spearmen s test. We found correlation between NPRS AND WOMAC which has positive correlation. Second we have found inverse correlation of NPRS and SST. Third we have found correlation of WOMAC and SST which also has inverse correlation. So it says that as pain increases functional ability decreases and second correlation says that ass pain increases strength decreases third correlation says that as strength deceases functional ability of osteoarthritis knee decreases. Conclusion: In conclusion the result of this study indicates that Quadriceps strength is related with pain and disability in patients suffering with Osteoarthritis knee.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis, commonly known as wear-and-tear arthritis, is a condition in which the natural cushioning between joints cartilage wears away. When this happens, the bones of the joints rub more closely against one another with less of the shockabsorbing benefits of cartilage. The rubbing results in pain, swelling, stiffness, decreased ability to move and, sometimes, the formation of bone spurs. Osteoarthritis of knee is one of the most common disabling degenerative diseases. Knee pain is the hallmark symptom of knee osteoarthritis. Despite of very high prevalence, the causes of knee are still poorly understood. (1) The aetiology of osteoarthritis is both biomechanical and biochemical, and there is no cure making effective rehabilitation particularly important. The knee is weight bearing joint most commonly affected by osteoarthritis and is second in overall osteoarthritis incidence. Compared with those without knee osteoarthritis, those with knee osteoarthritis demonstrate slower performance and increases need for functional modifications. This is particularly the case for those reduced lower limb sensory motor function.. Impaired quadriceps strength and proprioception have been linked with knee osteoarthritis (13, 17, 23). Some studies have also found increased knee extensor strength decreased risk of developing symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Therefore there needs to better understand potentially modifiable risk factors for development of knee osteoarthritis and disablement. (2) The two large surveys conducted in India revealed a significant higher prevalence of knee pain in rural (13.9) compared with the urban (6.0%) community. (3) Here is the study to find whether the quadriceps strength is associated with pain and functional ability in an individual with osteoarthritis Knee. In this cross sectional study, we have taken NPRS and Sit to stand to measure pain and quadriceps strength respectively in osteoarthritis knee patients. We have taken WOMAC to test the functional ability of osteoarthritis knee patients. (1)` Page 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE N A Glass, at al (2013) The relationship between quadriceps muscle weakness and worsening of knee pain in the MOST cohort: a 5-year Longitudinal study To determine whether quadriceps weakness is associated with elevated risk of Worsening knee pain over 5 years. Quadriceps weakness was associated an increased risk of worsening of knee pain over 5 years in women, but not in men. Alex.N Bastick,at al (2015) What Are the Prognostic Factors for Radiographic progrsssion of knee osteoarthritis? Meta analysis The purpose of this study is to provide an updated systematic review of available evidence regarding prognostic factors for radiographic knee OA Marlene Farsen, at al(2011) The epidemiology of osteoarthritis in Asia An update of what is currently known about the prevalence of hip and knee OA from population-based studies conducted in the Asian region is presented in this review. Many of the recent studies have conducted comparisons between urban and rural areas and poor and affluent communities. The results of Asian-based studies evaluating risk factors from population-based cohorts or case control studies, and the current evidence on OA morbidity burden in Asia is also outlined Stephanie c. Petterson, at al(2008) Mechanisms Underlying Quadriceps Weakness in Knee Osteoarthritis To identify determinants of quadriceps weakness among persons with endstage knee osteoarthritis. Both reduced CAR and LMCSA contribute to muscle weakness in persons with knee OA. Similar to healthy elders, the best predictor of strength in the contra lateral, no diseased limb was largely determined by LMCSA, whereas CAR was found to be the primary determinant of strength in the OA limb. Deficits in CAR may undermine the effectiveness of volitional strengthening programs in targeting quadriceps weakness in the OA population. Fiona Dobson, at al Recommended performance-based tests to assess physical function in people diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis Although the tests in the recommended set were selected based on global expert opinion and available clinimetric evidence, none of the tests fulfil all desirable criteria, limiting the ability for a definitive core set of tests to be defined Page 11
METHODOLOGY Page 12
METHODOLOGY STUDY DESIGN:- Observational study STUDY SETTINGS:- Subjects will be taken from the Rajkot city. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:- Purposive sampling technique will be used for osteoarthritis knee patients. SAMPLING POPULATION:- 30 radiological confirmed knee osteoarthritis patients will be taken. SAMPLE SIZE:- 30 patients Page 13
CRITERIA FOR SELECTION INCLUSION CRITERIA:- 1. Diagnosed or radiological confirmed osteoarthritis knee patients. 2. Subjects from age 40-55yrs. EXCLUSION CRITERIA:- 1. Treatment taken for 6 months. 2. Cases of rheumatoid arthritis and other arthritis taken as well as no post operative patients. 3. Cases of neurological disorder. Page 14
MATERIALS USED IN THE STUDY TOOLS AND MATERIAL:- 1. Stopwatch 2. Straight back chair with a 44cm (17 inch) seat height, preferably with arms CHAIR STOPWATCH Page 15
METHOD Description The maximum number of chair stand repetitions possible in a 60 second period (2-4). Preparation Environment Ensure the chair cannot slide backwards by placing the back of the chair against a wall. Participant Comfortable walking footwear (e.g. tennis shoes/cross trainers) should be worn. The participant sits in the chair in a position that allows them to place their feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart, with knees flexed slightly more than 90 degrees so that their heels are somewhat closer to the chair than the back of their knees. The arms are crossed at the wrists and held close to the chest (across chest). Tester The tester stands close to the side of the chair for safety and so as they can observe the technique, ensure that the participant comes to a full stand and full sit position during the test. Practice A practice trial of one or two slow paced repetitions is recommended before testing to check technique and understanding. Procedure From the sitting position, the participant stands up completely up so hips and knees are fully extended, then completely back down, so that the bottom fully touches the seat. This is repeated for 60 seconds. Same chair should be used for re-testing within site. If the person cannot stand even once then allow the hands to be placed on their legs or use their regular mobility aid. This is then scored as an adapted test score. 8 Page 16
Verbal instructions For this test, do the best you can by going as fast as you can but don t push yourself to a point of overexertion or beyond what you think is safe for you. 1. Place your hands on the opposite shoulder so that your arms are crossed at the wrists and held close across your chest. Keep your arms in this position for the test. 2. Keep your feet flat on the floor and at shoulder width apart. 3. On the signal to begin, stand up to a full stand position and then sit back down again so as your bottom fully touches the seat. 4. Keep going for 60 seconds and until I say stop. 5. Get ready and START. Scoring On the signal to begin, start the stop watch. Count the total number of chair stands (up and down equals one stand) completed in 60 seconds. If a full stand has been completed at 60 seconds (i.e. standing fully erect or on the way down to the sitting position), then this final stand is counted in the total. The participant can stop and rest if they become tired. The time keeps going. If a person cannot stand even once then the score for the test is zero. Next, allow the hands to be placed on their legs or use their regular mobility aid. If the person can stand with adaptions, then record the number of stands as an adapted test score (see score sheet). Indicate the adaptations made to the test. Page 17

RESULTS Here in this study we have involved 30 individuals to find out the correlation between pain, strength and functional disability. The mean of NPRS, SST and WOMAC was found to be 5.2, 9.067, 28.1 respectively. In this study we have taken Karl Persons Spearmen s test. We found correlation between NPRS AND WOMAC which has positive correlation. Second we have found inverse correlation of NPRS and SST. Third we have found correlation of WOMAC and SST which also has inverse correlation. So it says that as pain increases functional ability decreases and second correlation says that ass pain increases strength decreases third correlation says that as strength deceases functional ability of osteoarthritis knee decreases.

DISCUSSION Page 25
. DISCUSSION This study correlates quadriceps strength, pain and functional disability among osteoarthritis knee patients. It is observed that higher levels of quadriceps strength correlate with higher physical activity in knee OA patients. We also found that quadriceps weakness was associated with worsening knee pain. Our evaluation also found out that quadriceps weakness predicts worsening knee pain because the quadriceps muscle is a primary dynamic contributor to knee joint stability. By definition, stability at the knee joint requires internal forces of sufficient magnitude to counteract external forces acting at the knee. The quadriceps muscle absorbs loads and provides dynamic stability withness of the quadriceps may alter local contact, stress in a manner detrimental to artricular cartilage. (14) It may also lead to increases impulse loading, which has benn associated with knee pain and may contribute to knee osteoarthritis. (20,33). This suggests that if excess laoding is predictive of osteoarthritis increases quadriceps strength may protect the knee. Weakness could reduce shock absorption and neuromuscular control and impair structural integrity of the knee joint. This may lead to abnormal loading and subsequent structural pathology associated with knee symptoms, such as bone marrow lesions or bone attrition. Some articles also mention that exact reason that quadriceps strength does not predict the majority of variance in physical activity is unknown but there are likely multiple other factors that influence physical activity in patients with knee OA. Knee OA is a multifactorial condition that includes injury and disease of multiple joint structures. Strength or activation of multiple lower Extremity muscles affect contact forces at the knee, many of which may uniquely contribute to explaining a portion of the diminished physical activity seen in patients with knee OA. Additionally, the inability to tolerate pain during locomotion may explain additional variance regarding physical activity, as fear of pain during ambulation may decrease physical activity. Non-physiological factors such as Socioeconomic status may be associated with lower leisure-time physical activity. It is possible that severity of joint damage at the time of testing may have contributed to explain a proportion of variance among osteoarthritis knee patients. Although the sassociation between OA progression and strength is not clear, quadriceps weakness remains a hallmark physical impairment. This is what are study contains along with the contradictions we found in research done by others. Page 26
LIMITATIONS AND FURTHER RECOMENDATIONS Page 27
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY Only 40-55 age group of people were selected in this study. Small sample size was taken for study i.e. 30 As manoeuvres are to be performed by the subject, the result greatly depends on confidence level and skill of subjects. Excessive repetitions if performed by the subject can lead to exersion which affects the result. FURTHER RECOMMENDATION The study can be carried out on more number of subjects Other tests like using dynamometer, sea bags isometric exercise can also be selected for this study. In sequence further interventional studies may be done on quadriceps endurance and neuromuscular control of the same. Longitudinal studies of this component can help to see their effect on prognosis of osteoarthritis knee. Page 28
CONCLUSION Page 29
CONCLUSION In conclusion the result of this study indicates that Quadriceps strength is related with pain and disability in patients suffering with Osteoarthritis knee. Patients with more quadriceps strength are found to have less pain and disability. Moreover, there is a significant correlation between pain and functional disability, the more is the pain the more is disability. The study is significant clinically as it can be inferred from the result that increasing and maintaining quadriceps strength can help the patient to control pain and reduce disability. Page 30
SUMMARY Page 31
SUMMARY This observational study is to correlate quadriceps strength, pain and functional disability among osteoarthritis knee patients. As it is a degenerative disease, the population selected for study is 40 to 55 years of age. Diagnosed cases or radiological confirmed 30 patients were selected on the base of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The outcome measures used for quadriceps strength, pain and functional disability is to Sit To Stand test (SST),NPRS and WOMAC respectively. The mean of WOMAC scale is 28.10 of the same patients is 9.067, mean of NPRS is 5.200 and mean of WOMAC scale is 28.10 of the same patients. Karl Pearson s correlation test was applied to study whether there is any correlation among these components. It was found that there is positive correlation between NPRS and WOMAC. NPRS and SST are correlated inversely and the correlation between SST and WOMAC is also an inverse correlation. It implies that an increase in pain increases functional disability, increase in pain increases functional disability, increase in strength may decrease the pain and disability. Page 32
