Abstract

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis; it is a multi-factorial progressive and non-inflammatory degenerative disease of synovial joint. Degenerative changes led to irreversible destruction of articular cartilage and other tissue of joint. Inter-phalanges joint of finger and carpometacarpal joint of thumb, knee and hip joints are most commonly affected. There is unilateral involvement of joints , complaint of pain, loss of mobility, morning stiffness and decrease range of motion. The exact cause of osteoarthritis is unknown however current evidence says that major risk factor of Osteoarthritis are age, sex, races, genetic factor, joint trauma and occupation related stress over joint etc. On the basis of risk factor, it can be primary and secondary Osteoarthritis. Pharmacological treatment mostly steroids and NSAID (Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory Drugs) drugs that provide symptomatic relieve from pain and inflammation next DMOADS (disease modifying Osteoarthritis drugs) are under develop and aim to modify the underline osteoarthritis to prevent long term disability. Surgical intervention may required for advanced stage of Osteoarthritis when pain is unbearable and disability pause the Activities of daily living(ADL). Physiotherapeutic management includes exercise therapy, electro-therapy along with electric modality, aqua therapy, agility and perturbation training, balance and proprioception.
