Kinesiophobia, Pain, Functional Status and Self-Efficacy in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Completed
Conditions
Knee Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Kellgren Lawrence classification
Registration Number
NCT05036551
Lead Sponsor
Hacettepe University
Brief Summary

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, functional status and self efficacy in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed Description

Material and Methods: The study was performed on 72 individuals diagnosed with Stage 2 and Stage 3 knee osteoarthritis according to the Kellgren Lawrence classification. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used to evaluate kinesiophobia, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to asses the functional status. Self efficacy was assessed using the Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale (ASES).

Stage 2 Knee osteoarthritisKellgren Lawrence classificationThe Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to determine the severity of the pain. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used to evaluate kinesiophobia. The functional state was evaluated using The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). The Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale was used to determine self efficacy perception.
Stage 3 Knee osteoarthritisKellgren Lawrence classificationThe Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to determine the severity of the pain. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used to evaluate kinesiophobia. The functional state was evaluated using The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). The Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale was used to determine self efficacy perception.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

Pain assessment, between 0-10 points. Low score low pain

Tampa Scale for KinesiophobiaAfter the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

Kinesiophobia assessment, between 17-68 points. Low score low kinesiophobia.

The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis IndexAfter the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

Functional state assessment, between 0-96 points. Low score good functional status.

Arthritis Self Efficacy ScaleAfter the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program.

Self Efficacy assessment, between 20-100 points. Low score low self-efficacy.
