简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of the video-based exercise programs in patients with degenerative meniscus tears.
详细描述
To investigate the efficacy of video-based exercise programs, voluntary patients with degenerative meniscus tears aged 40-65 years will be randomly assigned to three groups: the hybrid exercise group (HEG), the video-based exercise (VBE) group, and the standard exercise (SE) group. Interventions will be delivered over 16 sessions (twice a week for 8 weeks). The patients will be assessed at baseline and at the end of the 8-week intervention. Pain during activity, at rest, and at night will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Active range of motion will be evaluated using a digital goniometer. Isometric muscle strength will be measured with a handheld dynamometer. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) will evaluate functional status and symptoms. The Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) will assess health-related quality of life. Adherence to the exercise program and the Global Rating of Change Scale will be evaluated.

结局指标
主要结局
Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)
时间窗: Baseline
Short-term and long-term symptoms and function will be assessed with the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) that is developed as an extension of the WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index. The score is a percentage score from 0 to 100, 0 representing extreme problems and 100 representing no problems.
