Abstract :

A 30-Year-old male came to hospital with primary complaint of medial side right knee pain. Patient is watchmen by profession and involve long time standing without rest. He was diagnosed for pes anserine bursitis which is inflammatory condition. The aim of the present study is to implement advanced physiotherapeutic intervention with the conventional method for the better and long-term therapeutic effect in point of occupational rehabilitation. The study result concluded that interferential therapy with advanced laser therapy gave significantly swift and long-term effect followed by strength and conditioning of the lower limb. Procedure- a treatment session of 2 weeks included application of IFT and laser at lesion site to facilitate the response of pain and tenderness. We have used the pain scale, which is a visual analogue scale, to assess the efficacy of the modality. For 15 minutes, the patient received laser and IFT treatment. Conclusion- combining IFT and laser therapy can be used to treat pes anserine bursitis.
