Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Vertical jump
Time Frame: 6 weeks
My Jump Lab 3 is a mobile application that precisely measures and analyzes vertical jump performance. It is an important tool to assess lower limb function and optimize treatment processes for patients with knee problems. The app provides key performance metrics such as jump height, flight time and strength and helps monitor patients' progress.
Star Balance Test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
It is a test that evaluates dynamic balance and lower limb stability. The subject stands on one foot on eight radial lines drawn on the ground and tries to reach the farthest point of each line with the free foot. Reach distances in each direction are recorded and analyzed. This test is used to determine the risk of injury in athletes and to monitor balance development during rehabilitation.
Tegner Activity Level Scale
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The Tegner Activity Level Scale is used to determine individuals' physical activity and level of sporting participation. The scale uses a scale ranging from 0 (sedentary) to 10 (professional athlete). This scale is particularly useful in the rehabilitation of sports injuries and for monitoring individuals' activity levels
KOOS-PS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - Physical Function Short Form)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The KOOS-PS is used to assess the physiological and functional effects of knee osteoarthritis and knee injuries. The KOOS-PS includes five different knee-related subscales: Pain, Symptoms, Activities of Daily Living, Sports and Recreation, and Quality of Life. The physical function short form (PS) specifically assesses the impact of physical function on activities of daily living.
WOMET (Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The WOMET is a specific scale developed to assess the symptoms and effects of meniscal injuries. It measures the pain, functional limitations, and impact on quality of life that patients experience with meniscal injuries.
