Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the randomized controlled study is to investigate the effects of the cycle ergometer with biofeedback on deep sensation in elderly people who has knee osteoarthritis
Detailed Description
Participants will be randomly divided and registered into 2 groups: Thera-train tigo group (TG) or control group(CP)
For 20 participants 20 minute tens, 5 minute ultrasound, 10 times with 2 sets quadriceps isometric exercise will be applied. The other 20 participants will use Thera-train tigo for 20 minute in addition to tens, us, quadriceps isometric exercise.
Conditions of the participants will be measured before(1st day) and after(15th day) a span of 3 week treatment. We will use Demographic Information Questionnaire, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index, Physical Activity Scale for the Eldery (PASE) and 6 minute walking test for all patients. Then we will measure knee vibration sense with diapason. Knee joint position sense will be measured with a digital goniometer.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
6 Minute Walking Test (6MWT)
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Six Minute walking test will be used to evaluate functional capacity of volunteers
Digital Goniometer
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Digital Goniometer will be used to measure angle of the knee position to evaluate deep sensation.
Diapason survey
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Diapason will be used to survey vibration sense to evaluate deep sensation
Secondary Outcomes
- The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)(3 weeks)
- Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE)(3 weeks)
