About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis by a specialist physician using MRI, US or radiography and physical examination.
  • Being between the ages of 35-70
  • Stage 1-2-3-4 according to Kellegran Lawrence (K-L) in radiological examination

Exclusion criteria

Having active synovitis

  • Having received physical therapy in the last 6 months
  • Those with neurological problems that affect walking
  • Those with serious respiratory, central, peripheral, vascular and uncontrolled metabolic problems that will prevent exercise
  • Has had lower extremity surgery in the past
  • Intra-articular steroid injections within the last 6 months
  • Using psychoactive drugs
  • Those with serious vision, hearing and speech disorders
  • Patients with vestibular dysfunction will not be included in the study

Treatment and study plan

Proprioceptive training

Other

Proprioceptive exercises were applied to both groups. In addition to these exercises, balance, coordination and strengthening exercises will also be applied to both groups.

Primary outcomes

  1. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)

    Time frame: 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 outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: 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

  2. Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement

    Time frame: 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.

  3. Range of Motion (ROM)

    Time frame: 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.

  4. Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)

    Time frame: 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.

  5. Manual Muscle Test

    Time frame: 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.

  6. Short Form 36 (SF-36)

    Time frame: 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.

  7. Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale

    Time frame: 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.

  8. International Physical Activity Scale (IPAQ)

    Time frame: 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.

  9. Proprioception Sense

    Time frame: 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
