Brief Summary

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular exercise program on physical activity, functionality and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis aged 35-65 years.

Conditions

Exercise; Osteoarthritis

Keywords

Physical activity; Function; Balance; Neuromuscular exercises; Osteoarthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) of patients with knee osteoarthritis at 6 weeks.

  The scale used to measure knee function (0-100 total score). High scores indicate poor function status and low scores indicate good function status. The scale contains 24 questions, three subgroups of pain, stiffness and physical function. There are 5 alternative answers to the questions: 0 = no, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe The rating (total of all answers / 96) was calculated as \* 100.

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Changed from Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of patients with knee osteoarthritis at 6 weeks.

  6 weeks

• Change from International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form of patients with knee osteoarthritis at 6 weeks.

  6 weeks

• Change from Y Balance Test of patients with knee osteoarthritis at 6 weeks.

  6 weeks

• Change from 2000 International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) of patients with knee osteoarthritis at 6 weeks.

Neuromuscular Exercises Group

EXPERIMENTAL

This group of patients received patient with knee osteoarthritis. It will be applied classical physiotherapy and neuromuscular exercises training

Behavioral: Neuromuscular Exercises

Conventional Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group of patients received patient with knee osteoarthritis. It will be applied classical physiotherapy and conventional exercises.

Behavioral: Conventional Group

Interventions

Neuromuscular Exercises BEHAVIORAL

In the experimental group, the subjects who were taken into the study were taken to the neuromuscular exercise (NME) program after the pre-treatment evaluations. The subjects in this group were given classical physiotherapy and NME performed 6 days a week, 1 set of 10 times physiotherapist control. NME was including warming, neuromuscular exercises (balance, muscle strengthening, proprioception, sensorimotor system training, joint stabilization and postural control exercises) and cooling periods.

Neuromuscular Exercises Group

Conventional Group BEHAVIORAL

In the control group, the subjects who were taken into the study were taken to the classical physiotherapy (hotpack (HP), ultrasound (US), transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS)) and conventional exercises program after the pre-treatment evaluations.

Conventional Group
