NCT05233839 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Mugla
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 49
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the home exercise program performed with video-based telerehabilitation in patients with degenerative meniscal injury, and the home exercise program performed with one-on-one training in the hospital with conventional methods.

Conditions

Meniscus; Degeneration

Keywords

Degenerative meniscus injury; Telerehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

  On a 10 cm straight line or numerical scale (0: no pain, 10: unbearable pain).

  Change from Baseline VAS at 8 weeks

• Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

  WOMAC consists of 3 main headings: pain intensity, stiffness, and physical function. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 96 (complete disability).

  Change from Baseline WOMAC at 8 weeks

• SF-12

  SF 12 is a self-evaluation scale. It consists of seven items. Its score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.

  Change from Baseline SF-12 at 8 weeks

• Muscle Strength Test with Lafayette Hand Held Dynamometer

  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.

  Change from Baseline Dynamometer Value at 8 weeks

• Proprioception Measurement with Baseline Bubble Inclinometer

  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.

  Change from Baseline Inclinometer Value at 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• EARS

  Change from Baseline EARS at 8 weeks

• TSUQ

  Change from Baseline TSUQ at 8 weeks

EXPERIMENTAL

The TR group will be followed up through the application within the 8-week home exercise program.

Other: Telerehabilitation

Paper Based Rehabilitation (PBR)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The PBR group will be followed up through the paper instruction within the 8-week home exercise program.

Other: Paper Based Rehabilitation
