Abstract
Aim. The
objective of this study is to show the effectiveness of close kinetic
chain exercise (CKC) over open kinetic chain exercise (OKC), on female
osteoarthritic knee.
Method. Thirty female osteoarthritic patients
were selected on the basis of their inclusion and exclusion criteria
and they were randomly divided into two groups of 15 patients in each
group. Group A was provided with CKC while group B was given OKC
exercises. The readings were taken on day 0 and day 35 during the 5
weeks study.
Result. The result of the effectiveness of CKC over OKC
is obtained through WOMAC scale and Strain gauge. Through these two
scales the strength and functional activity of the quadriceps muscle is
evaluated.
Conclusion. The study shows that closed kinetic chain
exercises are more effective than open kinetic chain exercises on
female osteoarthritic knees.
