Effectiveness of neuromuscular joint facilitation on pain, balance and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis
Description
This dataset contains data collected from participants with knee osteoarthritis to compare the effects of Neuromuscular Joint Facilitation (NJF) and Conventional physiotherapy. A total of 36 subjects were included and divided into two groups. Outcome measures such as Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) Single leg stance test ,and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were recorded before and after the intervention period. The dataset includes pre- and post-intervention values for pain and functional performance.

Participants diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were recruited based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and informed consent was obtained. The participants were then randomly allocated into two groups: Neuromuscular Joint Facilitation (NJF) and Conventional physiotherapy group. Baseline outcome measures, including the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), single leg stance test (SLS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), were recorded prior to the intervention. Each group received its respective intervention along with conventional physiotherapy for 3 days a week fora duration of 4 weeks. Following completion of the intervention period, outcome measures were reassessed, and pre- and post-intervention data were systematically recorded and compiled in a structured dataset for analysis.
