Conditions

Knee Injuries

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• WOMAC

  The Turkish version of the WOMAC scale will be used to evaluate the pain, stiffness and physical function of the individuals included in the study. The score of each section is calculated within itself and the total score varies between 0 and 100. High scores indicate an increase in pain and stiffness and impairment in physical function (12,13).

  3 weeks

• Stair climbing test

  Stair ascent and descent test: The patient's ascent and descent time of the 11-step staircase with a height of 14 cm and a depth of 29 cm were recorded separately with a stopwatch.

  3 weeks

• Range of motion of the joint

  Knee joint range of motion will be measured with a goniometer.

  3 weeks

• Star balance test

  The test is a simple but time-consuming test in terms of its application and is used to measure dynamic postural balance (1). The test is based on the ability to reach the farthest possible distance on the supporting leg with the free foot in 8 different directions

  3 weeks

• Horizontal jump test

  They jump to the farthest distance they can jump using their single and double legs and the best result obtained after at least 2 trials is recorded in cm. In this test, it should be noted that when contact with the ground after the jump, the measurement should be made at the heel level of the back foot, which is close to the starting line. Another point to be considered is that the participant should be stationary at the starting line. The participant cannot come to the line running and jump. But it is allowed to make a springing movement in front of the line
