Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis, prevalent among the elderly, poses challenges due to cartilage erosion and bone changes. This study examines the effectiveness of adding closed kinetic chain exercise to conventional modalities for improving knee functional activity. Using a quasi-experimental design, knee functional improvement was compared between groups receiving closed kinetic chain exercise and conventional modalities. Results show significant improvement in knee function with closed kinetic chain exercise, suggesting its potential as a safe and beneficial intervention for knee osteoarthritis management. Highlight: Elderly Challenge: Knee osteoarthritis impacts functional ability, requiring effective interventions. Exercise Efficacy: Closed kinetic chain exercise enhances knee function significantly. Comparative Study: Quasi-experimental design reveals exercise effectiveness versus conventional modalities. Keyword: Knee osteoarthritis, closed kinetic chain exercise, functional activity, elderly, intervention

Abstract

This study compared the efficacy of Friction and Hold Relax exercises in alleviating De Quervain syndrome symptoms among smartphone game players. Utilizing a quasi-experimental pre and post-test design with 14 participants in each group, the research found that Hold Relax exercises significantly improved thumb function compared to Friction (p = 0.002). These results highlight the importance of tailored therapeutic interventions for De Quervain syndrome patients, particularly among smartphone game players, and provide valuable insights for optimizing treatment strategies in this population. Highlight: Superiority of Hold Relax: Effective for De Quervain syndrome among smartphone users. Tailored Therapy: Recognizes specific needs of smartphone game players. Clinical Insights: Optimizing treatment strategies for De Quervain syndrome rehabilitation. Keyword: De Quervain syndrome, smartphone game players, therapeutic exercises, Hold Relax, Friction
