Osteoarthritis, Knee, Telerehabilitation
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of our study is to realize an exercise training and follow-up system that individuals with knee OA can easily adapt.
Interventions
OTHERTelerehabilitation
Home exercises will be delivered through a video mobile application. In this application, exercises for knee osteoarthritis will be presented according to their types (stretching, strengthening, etc.). Videos deemed appropriate by the physiotherapist will be added to the exercise prescription and sent to the patients via message. Patients will have the opportunity to remotely access their own exercise prescription with visual, auditory and written commands. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
