Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is an all-encompassing, broadly prevalent illness that mostly affects the knee joint. It is a complex progressive disorder leading to loss of articular cartilage, joint space reduction, pain, function loss, and physical incapacity causing deterioration in quality of life. In today’s era with technological advancements artificial intelligence powered devices can be helpful in evaluating symptoms and functional outcomes of osteoarthritis knee. Various physiotherapeutic interventions have showed significant improvement in symptom management but this study focuses on the proprioceptive Plyometric exercise to enhance osteoarthritis patients’ awareness of joint position. The study had 40 participants with unilateral osteoarthritis in their knees, who were allocated into two groups: group A (n=20) received dynamic proprioceptive exercise, while group B (n=20) received plyometric training for four weeks. Both results for finding out joint position sense was carried out by Orthyo® system sensors and Both the groups showed improvement in intervention when compared to the baseline values. However, compared to dynamic proprioceptive activities, plyometric training demonstrated a greater enhancement in joint position sensing. Dynamic proprioceptive exercises were shown to be less effective than plyometric training. The use of wireless motion sensors proved to be helpful in evaluating and monitoring joint position sense among knee osteoarthritis subjects.
