Meniscus degeneration, synovial inflammation, subchondral bone changes, and cartilage loss serve as the best indicators of osteoarthritis (OA). The most prevalent type of joint conditions, OA, impairs mobility, lowers quality of life, and limits participation in social activities. Although pain is the primary concern for the majority of patients, clinical symptoms also include joint stiffness, discomfort, and dysfunction. There is enough data to draw the conclusion that physiotherapy treatments can reduce knee OA patients’ pain and enhance their functional capabilities. Two treatment methods that are particularly effective and advantageous for people with knee OA are plyometrics and eccentric training programmes. Our study will compare the impact of eccentric training programmes and low-intensity plyometric training programmed on pain, strength, and function in patients with Grade 1 and Grade 2 knee OA. In this study, the following outcome measures will be utilised: the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the Two Minute Walk Test, as our final performance measures for pain and function, respectively. We will determine strength by using portable hand-held dynamometers. Through this study, we will be able to create a plyometric training regimen that can be given to individuals with knee osteoarthritis to improve their physical well-being and athletic performance. These training programmes would be highly effective in such patients, in addition to conventional treatment. Registration number: CTRI/2023/06/053657

“…In those with KOA, systematic quadriceps isometric contraction exercise successfully reduced pain and enhanced knee joint function [ 15 ]. Interferential therapy with the specified parameters is proved to be very effective in improving pain [ 16 ]. People with KOA may find stretching procedures helpful for managing their pain, especially when done on their own [ 17 ].…”

Globally, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the leading cause of disability. The most prevalent complaints associated with KOA are knee pain, joint stiffness, and weakness in the muscles of the lower limbs. These symptoms impede movement and result in functional limitations. As a result, people with KOA have a lower quality of life. For all patient groups with knee OA, an effective rehabilitation program focuses on improving knee range of motion, isometric quadriceps strength, and productivity level while reducing discomfort. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) categorization criteria for KOA, research on KOA physiotherapy, and reviews covering various physical therapy interventions, including exercise, physical modalities, and patient education, were used to narrow down the pool of 180 systematic reviews to 15 articles. Google Scholar, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were the databases that were used. The following keyword combinations were included in our search: KOA and physiotherapy or interventions or exercises, strengthening and stretching, concentric and eccentric training. Through our analysis, we identified a few methods that, in addition to standard therapy, could be used in clinical settings for people with osteoarthritis in the knee. It has been shown that Mulligan, Pilates, Kinesiotaping, Aquatic Therapy, and other current therapies are effective. The study employed a broad range of results. This review concludes that rather than relying solely on conventional therapy, it is preferable to combine a number of the most current physiotherapy techniques with it.
