Overview

Evaluation of the Efficiency of Propioceptive Study According to Radiological Stages in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

Investigators divided patients with knee osteoarthritis into two groups. Group 1 consisted of stage 1 and stage 2 patients. Group 2 consisted of stage 3 and stage 4 patients. Proprioceptive training was applied in both groups. Investigators aim is to evaluate the effect of proprioceptive exercises on knee osteoarthritis according to the radiological level.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)

The scale consists of 3 main headings and 24 questions. It is scored between 0 and 100. There is a negative correlation between scoring and functionality.

Time frame: Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 4 weeks rehabilitation program.

Secondary Outcomes

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

The levels of pain is felted at rest / activity / night will be measured using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)..Patients will be asked to evaluate their pain status with a 10-point scale and high scores are positively correlated with pain

Time frame: Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks

Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement

A digital algometer will be used for Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement. Digital algometer is a device that objectively evaluates the pressure pain threshold. Low values indicate increased sensitivity and pain sensation.

Time frame: Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks

Range of Motion (ROM)

Knee,food and hip ROM will be evaluated with digital goniometer while the patient will be in supine and prone position.

Time frame: Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks

Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)

The scale consists of 7 questions measuring the physical activity of the individual in the last 7 days. The activity level is determined according to the scale score.

Time frame: Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks

Manual Muscle Test

Manual Muscle Test is a procedure for the evaluation of strength of individual muscle or muscles group, based upon the effective performance of a movement in relation to the forces of gravity or manual resistance through the available ROM.
