How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: weight bearing exercises
  • Standing knee raise 10 rep x 2sets
  • Standing knee bend 10 rep x 2sets
  • Standing hip extension 10 rep x 2sets
  • Shallow squats 5 rep x 2 sets After 4 week gradually restricting the use of assistive device when patient become able to walk and stand for 10 mins then add stair climbing and descending with a step height not higher than 7 inch.

The session will be around 45 to 60 minutes on each patient with 2 sessions per week on alternate days to observe the long term effects.

Experimental: non weight bearing exercises
  • Seated knee flexion 10 rep x 2sets
  • Seated knee extension 10 rep x2sets
  • Use of stationary bicycle 10 mins
  • Side lying leg lift 10 rep x2sets
  • Straight leg raise 10 rep x 2sets The session will be around 45 to 60 minutes on each patient with 2 sessions per week on alternate days to observe the long term effects.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
NPRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable"
6 weeks
Goniometry
Time Frame: 6 weeks
A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position
6 weeks
Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
A 40 item questionnaire (hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score, HOOS) was constructed to assess patient-relevant outcomes in five separate subscales (pain, symptoms, activity of daily living, sport and recreation function and hip related quality of life).
6 weeks
