详细描述
This research is to check the feasibility and efficacy of a telerehabilitation program for people with knee osteoarthritis in Sri Lanka. 14 people with knee OA will be recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Study group will be selected with advertisement on facebook.
People who are interested will be included. Exercise booklet and instruction materials will be given to patients and initial measurement of Pain using VAS scale, 30 CST (30 second chair stand test)- Lower extremity muscle strength and dynamic balance, WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index)- pain, stiffness and physical activity will be obtained. Study group will go for 8 weeks of zoom program of exercises. Classes will be taken by the physiotherapist 3 days per week with standardized program called PEAK.knee log book will be maintained by therapist. Post 8 week same measurements on baseline will be reassessed and additional to that, Feasibility and acceptability for tele rehabilitation and Patient adherence and Safety will be assessed with attrition rate, satisfaction rate , participation to the program and measuring adverse effect respectively. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version for Windows will be used for data analysis. Pair t test will be used to compare the baseline and post 8 week results.
