The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of forward vs backward pedalling on Pain, Disability and Functional performance in Knee Osteoarthritis patients and to find out which pedalling direction offers more advantage in knee osteoarthritis patient. The study was a Pre and Post Experimental design study, involving three groups, i.e., forward pedalling group, backward pedalling group and a control group. Thirty patients diagnosed with mild to moderate knee OA of both the gender between the age group of 40-60 years, selected by sample of convenience method and completed 3 weeks of cycling intervention on stationary cycle, performed 5 days per week. Subject in controlled group did only conventional exercises for 3 weeks. Primary Outcome measure included KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) and TUG (Timed Up and Go) Scale was the Secondary outcome measure.
Result showed both forward and backward pedaling are effective in reducing pain and disability and improving functional performance in knee osteoarthritis. Also, there is no additional benefit or difference in the effect of either of the pedaling direction and both can be used for rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis.
