IRCT20181210041914N1 IRCT 2021-03-09 Shahid Bahonar university of Kerman The Effect of Four Weeks of Swedish Massage on Knee Joint Biomechanical Parameters During Walking in Adult Women With Knee Osteoarthritis The Effect of Four Weeks of Swedish Massage on Knee Joint Biomechanical Parameters During Walking in Adult Women With Knee Osteoarthritis 2017-01-20 anticipated 30 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/53067 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In this study, the restricted randomization method of block randomization has been used. Blocking is usually used to balance the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups. This feature helps researchers to equate the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups. The size of all blocks was equal and in this two-group experiment, we had 6 blocks (including 3 participants in the massage intervention group and 3 participants in the control group). The randomization tool was one of the software for random sequence generation (software allocation Random) that in addition to simple randomization is able to generate a random sequence by blocking method. Concealment allocation was also used for concealment, which is the method used to execute a random sequence on study participants; So that before the individual is assigned, the assigned group is not known. Also, sequentially numbered, opaque sealed envelopes (SNOSE) were used in which each of the random sequences created on a registration card and the cards inside the envelopes were placed, respectively. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes were numbered in the same way on the outer surface. Finally, the envelopes were glued and placed in a box, respectively. At the beginning of the registration of participants, based on the order of entry of eligible participants into the study, one of the envelopes was opened and the assigned group of the participant was revealed, Blinding description: In this study, both participants and researchers were unaware of the allocation of study groups. The participants in the experimental group thought that everyone had received the intervention and the participants in the control group were unaware of the intervention for the experimental group. The researchers also did not know which group received the intervention while evaluating the information. N/A Knee Osteoarthritis. Intervention 1: Intervention group: The intervention group received 12 standard sessions of Swedish massage (three interval sessions a week, within 4 weeks, about 20-30 minutes per session) by a professional and licensed massage therapist. The therapist used a standard protocol, involving the petrissage (compression or manipulation of soft tissue between the fingers and thumb), effleurage (gliding of hands over the skin or soft tissues), and tapotement (percussion-based massage where hands strike soft tissue in a repetitive, rhythmic fashion) techniques. These techniques were applied to the quadriceps muscle group of the affected leg by thumb-kneading the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, as well as the iliotibial band and the patellar tendon. Intervention 2: Control group: The control group received only their usual treatment during this period and no training protocol was adopted for them. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Only part of the data, such as information about the main outcome or the like, can be shared.

Timepoint: The mentioned variable was measured at the baseline (before the intervention) and 4 weeks after the start of the massage intervention. Method of measurement: Motion Analysis System. Muscle activity of quadriceps. Timepoint: The mentioned variable was measured at the baseline (before the intervention) and 4 weeks after the start of the massage intervention. Method of measurement: Bio electronica muscle electrical activity recorder made in Italy, Usb2 + model with 16 channels. Voluntary isometric strength of quadriceps muscles. Timepoint: The mentioned variable was measured at the baseline (before the intervention) and 4 weeks after the start of the massage intervention. Method of measurement: Hand Held Dynamometer. Symptoms Of Knee Osteoarthritis. Timepoint: The mentioned variable was measured at the baseline (before the intervention) and 4 weeks after the start of the massage intervention. Method of measurement: The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. Knee Joint Proprioception. Timepoint: The mentioned variable was measured at the baseline (before the intervention) and 4 weeks after the start of the massage intervention. Method of measurement: In order to evaluate the knee joint proprioception, a system consisting of skin marking, digital imaging with Canon camera (20 megapixel resolution made in Japan) and AutoCAD software (made by Autodesk USA) was used.
