India and across globe has emerged as a concern for which treatment
has become absolute for survival. Empirical evidences and evidence
based practices in the last few decades reveals that significant
attempts have been made to treat and manage osteoarthritis. These interventions used in treating osteoarthritis have adverse effects as
well as, burden of treatment cost due to long duration of treatment.
Such interventions though have noticeable short term effects but their
long term effects are rarely studied due to a number of problems and
issues involved in conducting longitudinal studies. Therefore, the need
is felt for increasing efficiency in treatment of osteoarthritis patients,
where the present researcher attempted to analyze the role of
mechanoreceptors in osteoarthritis knee patients with regard to
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching and
Passive Joint Mobilization (PJM). There have been studies on PNF
stretching and PJM in India as well as in western world. However
these studies were limited by smaller sample size . Hence authors are
currently conducting a study with larger sample size to assess
effectiveness of PNF stretching and PJM in osteoarthritis of knee joint
patients in a tertiary care superspeciality hospital in India. In the
context of the designed study, attempt has been made to discuss the
conceptual framework on osteoarthritis patients in relation to PNF
stretching and PJM in the form of present article as a scholarly
contribution. | | Keywords : | | | Mechanoreceptors, osteoarthritis knee patients |
