Overview
Brief Summary
Video exercise component of the telerehabilitation would provide additional contribution to the patients. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of telerehabilitation-based exercise program and conventional (given on paper) exercise and training combination practices on pain, functionality, balance, proprioception and quality of life in patients with knee OA.
Detailed Description
Owing to telerehabilitation, exercise video suppliment will enable individuals to learn the exercise programs in the most appropriate way, have comprehensive information about their condition, and communicate easily with their physiotherapists. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of telerehabilitation-based exercise program and conventional (given on paper) exercise and training combination practices on pain, functionality, balance, proprioception and quality of life in patients with knee OA.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Muscle Strength Test with Lafayette Hand Held Dynamometer
Time Frame: Change from Baseline Muscle Strength at 8 weeks
It is an objective muscle strength measurement tool. Measurements are made 3 times. A rest of 120 seconds is given between measurements. The highest measured value is noted.
Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline "Timed Up and Go" test performance at 8 weeks
Patients are asked to get up from a standard chair, walk 3 meters a safe and comfortable pace, and return without stopping to sit back in the chair safely. The elapsed time is calculated.
Five Times Sit to Stand Test (5TSTS)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline "Five Times Sit to Stand" test performance at 8 weeks
The test involves patients getting up and sitting again without support from a chair 5 times as soon as possible. Measurements are made with a stopwatch.
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline Subjective Function at 8 weeks
WOMAC consists of 3 main headings: pain intensity, stiffness, and physical function. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 96 (complete disability).
Proprioception Measurement with Baseline Bubble Inclinometer
Time Frame: Change from Baseline Proprioception at 8 weeks
The "absolute angle difference", which is the difference between the targeted angle and the angle realized by the patient in each repetition, is recorded. The arithmetic mean of the absolute angle difference of 3 repetitions is the result data.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline Pain at 8 weeks
On a 10 cm straight line or numerical scale (0: no pain, 10: unbearable pain).
3-Meter Backward Walk Test (3MBW)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline "3-Meter Backward Walk" test performance at 8 weeks
It is determined by measuring a distance of 3 meters. Participants are asked to walk backwards safely but as quickly as possible and stop at the finish line. The time is recorded with a stopwatch.
Modified Four Square Step Test (mFSST)
Time Frame: Change from Baseline "Modified Four Square Step" test performance at 8 weeks
A suitable ground is divided into four identical squares with a "+" shaped line. Squares are numbered clockwise with numbers 1-4. The patient takes steps on the 1, 2, 3 and 4 squares in sequence without pressing the lines.The test ends when the last foot contact is cut off from the square. The time is recorded with a stopwatch.
Secondary Outcomes
- EQ-5D-5L(Change from Baseline General Quality of Life at 8 weeks)
- Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire(Change from Baseline General Telemedicine Satisfaction at 8 weeks)
- Telehealth Usability Questionnaire(Change from Baseline General Usability Satisfaction at 8 weeks)
