Abstract

A rising non-inflammatory condition that affects older people is osteoarthritis. The most typical location for osteoarthritis is the knee. When a muscle contracts and generates forces during an isometric workout, there is no noticeable change in the length of the muscle. Exercises known as multiple angle isometrics require the user to manually apply resistance to a range of joint positions. So, the goal of this study is to assess how well multiple angle isometric exercise reduces pain in people with osteoarthritis. Ten samples were collected from the Aarupadai Veedu Medical College and Hospitals outpatient physiotherapy department in Kirumampakkam, Pondicherry. Between the ages of 45 and 65, both males and females were collected. Participants underwent seven sessions of multiple-angle isometric exercise over the course of one week. The NPRS scale was used to assess pain before and after therapy. The use of a single outcome and a limited sample size are study limitations; it is recommended that more outcomes, such as strength and endurance, be added in the future to achieve a better level of dependability. The findings of this study revealed a considerable improvement in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee in terms of pain reduction. The research found that multiple angle isometric training reduces pain in those with osteoarthritis.
