Overview

Randomized control trial evaluates knee pain, range of motion, and quadriceps strength in KOA patients, suggesting IFC may enhance outcomes more than KT.

Key Points

  • Interferential current therapy improved pain and functionality in knee osteoarthritis patients after four weeks of treatment, enhancing outcomes overall.
  • Patients exhibited significant improvements in multiple measures, particularly in pain reduction and range of motion, with p values under 0.05, except for extension ROM.
  • This randomized control trial assessed treatment effects using the visual analogue scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index, and other functional measures.
  • The findings indicate that adding interferential current therapy provides greater improvements in quadriceps muscle strength than kinesio taping alone.
