Brief summary
Evaluation of the Efficiency of Propioceptive Study According to Radiological Stages in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis
Detailed description
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.
Interventions
Proprioceptive exercises were applied to both groups. In addition to these exercises, balance, coordination and strengthening exercises will also be applied to both groups.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) | Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 4 weeks rehabilitation program. | 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. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | 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. |
| Range of Motion (ROM) | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | Knee,food and hip ROM will be evaluated with digital goniometer while the patient will be in supine and prone position. |
| Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | 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. |
| Manual Muscle Test | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | 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. |
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | 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 |
| Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale | 4 weeks | Global Rating of Change (GRC) scale will be used to assess the overall satisfaction levels of the patients. Patients will be asked to evaluate their post-treatment status with a 5-point likert scale and high scores are positively correlated with satisfaction. |
| International Physical Activity Scale (IPAQ) | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | 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. |
| Proprioception Sense | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | The sense of proprioception will be measured using a digital goniometer. It will be repeated 3 times. The average will be recorded |
| Short Form 36 (SF-36) | Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks | SF-36 will be used to assess physical and mental health-related quality of life. The total score is at least 0 and at most 100, and the high scores are positively correlated with high quality of life. |
