Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 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)
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- EARS(Change from Baseline EARS at 8 weeks)
- TSUQ(Change from Baseline TSUQ at 8 weeks)
