Abstract

Background: This study was designed to inspect the effectiveness of a comparative study on Russian CurrentStimulation versus Faradic Current in pain and functional outcome in osteoarthritis knee. Russian current is themost commonly used electrical stimulation to improve muscle strength. Faradic current is effective in treatingmuscle spasms caused by inflammation and in lowering painPurpose: To compare the effectiveness of Russian current stimulation versus Faradic current using the KOOSscale.Materials and Methods: This experimental study has been conducted from November 2022 to April 2023.A totalof 196 adults were collected from APR physiotherapy center with OA knee have been selected using the inclusionand exclusion criteria. They have been split into 2 groups Group A (n=98) and Group B (n=98) were assigned.Group A got Russian current stimulation, whereas Group B received Faradic current and the KOOS scale was usedto evaluate the subjects. The treatments were given for 5 sessions per week and continued for 4 weeks.Results: The mean value of Russian current at the post-test was found to be higher than the mean value of Faradiccurrent with a p-value of <0.0001.Conclusion: The result suggests that Russian current stimulation shows a significant effect in reducing pain in theOA knee when compared to Faradic current.

俄罗斯电流刺激与法拉第电流对膝关节骨性关节炎疼痛和功能结果的比较研究

研究背景本研究旨在对俄罗斯电流刺激与法拉第电流刺激在膝关节骨性关节炎疼痛和功能结果方面的有效性进行比较研究。俄罗斯电流是最常用的改善肌肉力量的电刺激方法。法拉第电流可有效治疗炎症引起的肌肉痉挛并减轻疼痛。目的：使用 KOOS 量表比较俄罗斯电流刺激与法拉第电流的效果：本实验研究于 2022 年 11 月至 2023 年 4 月进行。根据纳入和排除标准，从 APR 物理治疗中心共挑选了 196 名患有膝关节 OA 的成人。他们被分成两组，A 组（98 人）和 B 组（98 人），A 组接受俄式电流刺激，B 组接受法拉第电流刺激，并使用 KOOS 量表对受试者进行评估。治疗每周进行 5 次，持续 4 周：结论：结果表明，俄式电流刺激在后测试中的平均值高于法拉第电流刺激的平均值，P 值小于 0.0001：结果表明，与法拉第电流相比，俄式电流刺激在减轻主膝关节疼痛方面效果显著。
