About this study

Material and Methods: The study was performed on 72 individuals diagnosed with Stage 2 and Stage 3 knee osteoarthritis according to the Kellgren Lawrence classification. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used to evaluate kinesiophobia, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to asses the functional status. Self efficacy was assessed using the Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale (ASES).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Being between the ages of 40-85 and diagnosed with stage 2-3 bilateral knee osteoarthritis according to Kellgren Lawrence classification.

Exclusion criteria

  • With a history of lower extremity surgery and a major trauma, orthopedic knee injuries such as tendinopathy, bursitis, ligament and meniscus injuries, a neurological or cardiopulmonary disease that may affect the evaluations, and any other joint in the lower limb that may cause reflected pain in the knee, individuals who had inflammatory rheumatic disease such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, have participated in physical therapy and rehabilitation program in the last 6 months and who have been given knee injections

Treatment and study plan

Kellgren Lawrence classification

Diagnostic Test

The Kellgren Lawrence classification was used in the radiological evaluation. It is a classification method used in the staging of knee osteoarthritis. Five stages were defined according to the anteroposterior X-ray.(Stage 0-5)

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

    Pain assessment, between 0-10 points. Low score low pain

  2. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia

    Time frame: After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

    Kinesiophobia assessment, between 17-68 points. Low score low kinesiophobia.

  3. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index

    Time frame: After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

    Functional state assessment, between 0-96 points. Low score good functional status.

  4. Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale

    Time frame: After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

    Self Efficacy assessment, between 20-100 points. Low score low self-efficacy.
