Efficacy of Telerehabilitation in Patients With Degenerative Meniscal Injury
- Conditions
- Meniscus; Degeneration
- Interventions
- Other: Paper Based RehabilitationOther: Telerehabilitation
- Registration Number
- NCT05233839
- Lead Sponsor
- Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University
- Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare the home exercise program performed with video-based telerehabilitation in patients with degenerative meniscal injury, and the home exercise program performed with one-on-one training in the hospital with conventional methods.
- Detailed Description
Conventional rehabilitation (CR) practices will be applied to the first study group. Telerehabilitation (TR) application will be applied to the second study group. It is aimed to evaluate the patients in terms of pain, functionality, quality of life and exercise compliance.

Group Intervention Description Paper Based Rehabilitation (PBR) Paper Based Rehabilitation The PBR group will be followed up through the paper instruction within the 8-week home exercise program. Telerehabilitation (TR) Telerehabilitation The TR group will be followed up through the application within the 8-week home exercise program.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Change from Baseline VAS at 8 weeks On a 10 cm straight line or numerical scale (0: no pain, 10: unbearable pain).
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Change from Baseline WOMAC at 8 weeks WOMAC consists of 3 main headings: pain intensity, stiffness, and physical function. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 96 (complete disability).
SF-12 Change from Baseline SF-12 at 8 weeks SF 12 is a self-evaluation scale. It consists of seven items. Its score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.
Muscle Strength Test with Lafayette Hand Held Dynamometer Change from Baseline Dynamometer Value at 8 weeks 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.
Proprioception Measurement with Baseline Bubble Inclinometer Change from Baseline Inclinometer Value at 8 weeks 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.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method EARS Change from Baseline EARS at 8 weeks In order to observe the individual's adaptation to exercise, the motivation levels of the patients regarding the exercise program are evaluated with the exercise diary prepared by the researchers of the study. It is scored between 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate greater adherence.
TSUQ Change from Baseline TSUQ at 8 weeks It consists of 21 items. With this survey, the satisfaction levels and usability of individuals using the telemedicine service are evaluated. The total score is scored between 17 and 85. Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction and usability.
