“…Our findings for pain perception in this study showed that isometric exercise training of the quadriceps muscles led to pain reduction since individuals tend to report a decrease in physical function when having pain. The studies by Baker et al [25] and Jebakani et al [26] corroborate the findings. Though not all the research works cited used the same protocol with this research, yet there was a reduction in pain levels in patients with knee osteoarthritis after the exercise training.…”

Introduction: Identifying potential factors influencing the disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis is paramount for rehabilitation. Objectives: To determine the factors that contributes to the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Knee Injury and Osteoarth Score questionnaire (KOOS) was used to assess the physical disability. one hundred and twenty four patients (age range 50-65 years) were randomized to therapeutic exercise (n =62) and conventional group(n = 62). Results: The results of regression analysis revealed that age and BMI factors play a role in knee osteoarthritis. Conclusion: The present study highlights the various factors that influence physical disability and thereby demonstrates to clinical researchers and practitioners that understanding and improving the quality of patient's well-being goes beyond simply treating the underlying clinical condition.

“…13 In other study D. Beulah Jebakani et al found improvement with therapeutic exercise program that includes warm up period, active range of motion exercises for the knee, muscles strengthening exercises for the hip and knee, muscle stretching for the lower limbs, balance exercises and cool down period reduced pain and improved physical disability in adults with knee osteoarthritis. 14 Parisa Nejati et al also showed the effectiveness of exercise therapy on knee osteoarthritis and found that adding exercise to other noninvasive methods that routinely used for knee osteoarthritis have boosting effect in relieving pain and improving knee function. 15 Patricia Pereira Alfredo et al showed effectiveness of low level laser therapy associated with exercises in knee osteoarthritis.…”

Purpose: The main purpose of the study was to find out the effects of Low Level Laser Therapy in patients presenting with diagnosis of bilateral patellofemoral knee osteoarthritis. The objective of our research is: To improve functional outcome. Methodology: A split-body-experimental design was done by random sampling for 4 weeks. A minimum of 20 subjects (i.e., 40 knees) were assigned for the study and low level laser therapy was applied to the right 20 knee (experimental group) and left 20 knee (control group) received conventional treatment in bilateral osteoarthritis, therefore number of knees tested were 20 for low level laser therapy and other 20 will receive conventional treatment Result: Statistically significant improvement was indicated in respect to all parameters taken in WOMAC scale such as pain, stiffness and physical function. There was also significant decrease in swelling by both conventional and additional low level laser therapy. Improvements in all parameters of the experimental group were more statistically significant when compared to parameters of control group (p <0.05). Conclusion: This study suggests that there is significant improvement with additional Low Level Laser therapy as well as with conventional treatment in patients with patellofemoral knee osteoarthritis but there is more significant improvement in experimental group in which Low level laser therapy was given along with exercise program. There is decrease in pain, swelling and stiffness. Hence, addition of Low Level laser therapy in patella-femoral knee osteoarthritis is more effective than conventional treatment. Keywords: Patellofemoral osteoarthritis, Low Level laser therapy, knee joint, isometric strengthening.
