Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization on the gait biomechanics of different preferential and high walking speeds and sit to stand task as well as performance and quality of life in people with knee osteoarthritis
Design
Clinical trial with control group, double-blind, randomized by block design, on 34 patients
Settings and conduct
The location of this intervention will be in the research therapeutic center of movement disorders, Department of physiotherapy, Tarbiat Modares University. After an introductory session, people will enter the intervention phase. Individuals will be randomly assigned to the treatment and placebo groups. Participants and outcome assessors are unaware of the allocation of study groups. The intervention will be performed in four sessions over two weeks
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Women and men with knee osteoarthritis, a positive Clark test, and two and three degrees of osteoarthritis, according to the kellgren Lawrence scale؛ Exclusion criteria: Having a history of hip or knee joint fracture or ligament injury on the affected side that resulted in permanent injury
Intervention groups
The intervention group will be treated with instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization along with stretching and strengthening exercises, and the control group will receive the instrument as a placebo. The intervention will be performed for both groups in four sessions over two weeks
Main outcome variables
Kinetic and kinematic variables of gait and sit to stand task; pain; strength; Function; Range of motion

Sample size
Target sample size: 34
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: treatment and placebo. In this way, four blocks are identified, of which two blocks belong to the placebo group and two blocks belong to the treatment group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Participants are unaware of the allocation of study groups. The treatment in the two groups is quite similar, and the only difference in the use of tools in the placebo group is that they are exactly the same instruments used in the treatment group, but the intensity of pressure and the type of movement of the tool are different. The intensity of pressure and type of movement are two subjects that patients do not have and will not notice if they are in the placebo or treatment group. The outcome assessor is also unaware of the grouping of individuals.
Placebo
Used
Assignment
Parallel
Other design features
People are randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group receives the instrument along with exercise therapy. The control group will receive the instrument as a placebo along with exercise therapy

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: A series of lightweight steel instruments are gently applied to the muscles around the knee. The movement of the instrument in specific therapeutic directions is applied to the skin based on the initial assessment, and an emollient is used to move the instrument more easily. The treatment time with this tool is approximately five minutes. Then stretching and strengthening exercises are performed.
Category
Treatment - Other

2

Description
Control group: Steel instruments are gently applied to the muscles around the knee in this group. Using an emollient, the instrument is applied as a placebo with the least amount of pressure on the skin in all directions. The tool is moved on the patient's skin in different directions without considering the initial assessment. The direction and pressure applied by the instrument have no therapeutic properties. The treatment time is approximately five minutes. Then stretching and strengthening exercises are performed.
