Brief Summary

Evaluation of the Efficiency of Propioceptive Study According to Radiological Stages in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

Detailed Description

Investigators divided patients with knee osteoarthritis into two groups. Group 1 consisted of stage 1 and stage 2 patients. Group 2 consisted of stage 3 and stage 4 patients. Proprioceptive training was applied in both groups. Investigators aim is to evaluate the effect of proprioceptive exercises on knee osteoarthritis according to the radiological level.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 1	Proprioceptive training	This group includes patients with grade 1 and grade 2 knee osteoarthritis.
Group 2	Proprioceptive training	This group includes patients with grade 3 and grade 4 osteoarthritis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC)	Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 4 weeks rehabilitation program.	The scale consists of 3 main headings and 24 questions. It is scored between 0 and 100. There is a negative correlation between scoring and functionality.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	The levels of pain is felted at rest / activity / night will be measured using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)..Patients will be asked to evaluate their pain status with a 10-point scale and high scores are positively correlated with pain
Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	A digital algometer will be used for Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement. Digital algometer is a device that objectively evaluates the pressure pain threshold. Low values indicate increased sensitivity and pain sensation.
Manual Muscle Test	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	Manual Muscle Test is a procedure for the evaluation of strength of individual muscle or muscles group, based upon the effective performance of a movement in relation to the forces of gravity or manual resistance through the available ROM.
Proprioception Sense	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	The sense of proprioception will be measured using a digital goniometer. It will be repeated 3 times. The average will be recorded
Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	The scale consists of 7 questions measuring the physical activity of the individual in the last 7 days. The activity level is determined according to the scale score.
Short Form 36 (SF-36)	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	SF-36 will be used to assess physical and mental health-related quality of life. The total score is at least 0 and at most 100, and the high scores are positively correlated with high quality of life.
Range of Motion (ROM)	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	Knee,food and hip ROM will be evaluated with digital goniometer while the patient will be in supine and prone position.
Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale	4 weeks	Global Rating of Change (GRC) scale will be used to assess the overall satisfaction levels of the patients. Patients will be asked to evaluate their post-treatment status with a 5-point likert scale and high scores are positively correlated with satisfaction.
International Physical Activity Scale (IPAQ)	Evaluation will be performed at Baseline (before treatment) and 4 weeks	The scale consists of 7 questions measuring the physical activity of the individual in the last 7 days. The activity level is determined according to the scale score.
