Opis

For many years now, osteoarthritis (OA) management has been very challenging irrespective of the multidisciplinary approach (Physiotherapists, Rheumatologists, Neurologists, and Orthopedic Surgeons). No matter the approach put forward by the AAOS, this disorder is still a leading cause of disability and so still constitutes a major problem in our healthcare systems. Given the excessive consumption of NSAIDs and Corticosteroids by patients leaves them with other multiple complications. This Book addresses a new manual technique: Krishna's Kinetikinetic Manual Therapy (KKMT) and evaluates the overall benefits to patients with knee OA when added to conventional Physiotherapy. After a profound intervention, important conclusions are drawn and recommendations made. This book is mainly written for Physiotherapists to discover a new Manual technique (KKMT) developed by Dr. Krishna N. Sharma, it is also meant to encourage Physiotherapists to get interested in research, for reinforcement of treatment programs as well as developing alternatives, for Orthopedic Surgeons, Rheumatologists, neurologists, and all other health practitioners to recognize the importance of Physiotherapy treatment.
