Overview
Brief Summary
The study's objective is to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration therapy administered before surgery on various factors related to patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty. These factors include pain, swelling, skin temperature, normal joint movement, knee joint position sense, knee extensor muscle strength, functional status, and patient satisfaction.
Detailed Description
The study will include participants aged 50-80 who are planning to undergo total knee arthroplasty. According to the sample size analysis, a total of 40 people will be included in this study. The enrolled participants will be randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups: the whole-body vibration group or the sham whole-body vibration group. Both groups will receive standard patient education and exercise training.The experimental group will receive whole-body vibration along with exercise on the whole-body vibration device, while the control group (sham group) will receive sham vibration on the same device. All participants will receive treatment for a total of 5 days, one session per day.
