Hello,
As history directs my thoughts towards the
Osteoarthritis of the knee for your Mother.
I can understand the pain is high and there is difficulty in walking.
I will help you with some therapy part and you can try this which should yield good results.
Try taking help from a physiotherapist who can help your mother with
physiotherapy management of the knee.
The knee treatment includes - a therapeutic
ultrasound for reducing the
joint inflammation, TENS therapy - for reducing pain, knee braces, exercises - static
hamstring, static quadriceps, straight leg raise, ankle toe movements, hip strengthening exercises.
With the above-mentioned therapy of knee, your mother should find the change in the overall muscle strength of the lower limbs and will help improve their pain and walking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
