The term Pes anserine (PA) is composed of the combination of tendinous insertions of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles. These three muscles attach to the medial side of tibia to generate a shape reminiscent of a goose's foot. Ultrasound therapy is found to be more convenient and effective in treating bursitis. The objective of this study was to study the effects of Ultrasound therapy and open kinetic chain exercises to reduce Pain, Symptoms, Activities of daily living, Sports and Recreation and Quality of living in Pes anserine bursitis patients.Design:An experimental study.Methods:20 subjects who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the study. Interventions conducted on the subjects were explained to them and consent was taken. PAB in obese women, using validated scale, Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS). The study was conducted using Ultrasound therapy and Open kinetic chain exercises.Results:The result shows average improvement in pain, symptoms, ADL, S&R and QOL from pre to post with p<0.001.Conclusion: There is significant difference of pain, reduction in symptoms, improvements in ADL, sports and recreational activities, improvement quality of living of knee. As per data analysis and interpretation and clinical improvement, null hypothesis is rejected, and alternate hypothesis is accepted.Keywords: Obesity, Pes anserine, Ultrasound therapy, Open kinetic chain exercises ER -
