简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Body Awareness Therapy (BAT) on pain, balance and functional capacity in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Individuals will divided into two groups: training group and control group. Both groups will receive exercise training as a home program. Individuals in study group will participate in BAT training 3 days for 6 weeks. Assessments will be made before and after the 6-week study program.
详细描述
Symptoms such as pain, morning stiffness, and decreased muscle strength lead to a decrease in functional capacity and quality of life in knee osteoarthritis. It is estimated that 80% of patients with osteoarthritis have movement limitation and 25% are unable to perform significant daily activities. It is also stated that increases the risk of falls due to decrease proprioception in patients with knee osteoarthritis. In addition to physical symptoms, it is reported in the literature that symptoms such as sleep disturbance, depression and anxiety are seen and play a role in pain experience.
It is stated in the literature that hypersensitivity of the central nervous system causes painful perception of normal body functions in chronic osteoarthritis, which leads patients to compensatory and dysfunctional movement strategies.
Body Awareness Therapy (BAT) is a mind-body treatment approach directed towards awareness of body senses and how the body is used. The aim is to integrate the body and soul in the individual's experiences and to restructure body awareness and control.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of BAT on pain, balance and functional capacity in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The study will consist of patients with stage 2-3 knee osteoarthritis according to Kellgren-Lawrence classification.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual analog scale
时间窗: six weeks
change in knee pain intensity from baseline at 6 weeks,"0" point means that there is no pain, "10" point indicates severity of pain
Single leg stability
时间窗: six weeks
change in overall stability index of athlete single leg stability test in Biodex Balance System (BBS) from baseline at 6 weeks. Stability level of platform will be set as static. The results can be compared with normative values in the BBS. Lower scores indicate better stability and higher scores mean poor balance.
6 minute walk test
时间窗: six weeks
change in walking distance from baseline at 6 weeks
Stair climb test
时间窗: six weeks
change in time needed to complete the test form baseline at 6 weeks
5 times sit to stand test
时间窗: six weeks
change in time needed to complete the test from baseline at 6 weeks
Hand-held dynamometer
时间窗: six weeks
changes quadriceps muscle strength from baseline at 6 weeks
次要结局
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC)(six weeks)
- Fall risk(six weeks)
- joint range of motion(six weeks)
