The Effect of Telerehabilitation-Based Exercise and Training on Outcome Measures in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

On a 10 cm straight line or numerical scale (0: no pain, 10: unbearable pain).

WOMAC consists of 3 main headings: pain intensity, stiffness, and physical function. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 96 (complete disability).

It is an objective muscle strength measurement tool. Measurements are made 3 times. A rest of 120 seconds is given between measurements. The highest measured value is noted.

The "absolute angle difference", which is the difference between the targeted angle and the angle realized by the patient in each repetition, is recorded. The arithmetic mean of the absolute angle difference of 3 repetitions is the result data.

Patients are asked to get up from a standard chair, walk 3 meters a safe and comfortable pace, and return without stopping to sit back in the chair safely. The elapsed time is calculated.

The test involves patients getting up and sitting again without support from a chair 5 times as soon as possible. Measurements are made with a stopwatch.

It is determined by measuring a distance of 3 meters. Participants are asked to walk backwards safely but as quickly as possible and stop at the finish line. The time is recorded with a stopwatch.

A suitable ground is divided into four identical squares with a "+" shaped line. Squares are numbered clockwise with numbers 1-4. The patient takes steps on the 1, 2, 3 and 4 squares in sequence without pressing the lines.The test ends when the last foot contact is cut off from the square. The time is recorded with a stopwatch.

The patient is asked to indicate the state of health by marking the most appropriate expression in each of the five dimensions. Index score of the EQ-5D-5L is ranged between 1 to - 0.285. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. VAS score of the EQ-5D-5L is ranged between 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

This questionnaire consists of 14 items. The level of satisfaction of the patients with the software or system from which they receive treatment or other remote rehabilitation services is evaluated. The tool uses a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree). The total score varies between 14-70 for 14 questions with a maximum of 5 points. Higher scores indicate better satisfaction.

The questionnaire consists of 21 items evaluating the distance rehabilitation service. The questionnaire uses a 7-point Likert-type scale (1 = disagree, 7 = agree). The total score is calculated by summing up 21 items.
