Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the treatment efficacy of TECAR therapy, a modern application that has been increasingly used in recent years, compared to conventional physical therapy applications in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, according to the evaluation of the clinical findings of patients. Methods: A total of 54 patients, aged between 40 and 75 years, were randomly divided into two groups. Both groups received CPT. Group 2 received TECAR therapy in addition to CPT, applied three times a week for two weeks, for a total of 6 sessions. All patient's knee joint range of motion (ROM) was measured goniometrically, isometric quadriceps muscle strength was measured, and pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and disability levels were assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) before treatment, at the end of treatment, at 1 month, and at 3 months.
DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A TELEREHABILITION SYSTEM FOR PATIENTS WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE. KNEE (AGES 40-70 YEARS, GRADE 1-3, ACCORDING TO KELLGREN AND LAWRENCE) This study aims to develop and compare two methods of implementing a therapeutic exercise program for knee osteoarthritis: face-to-face sessions versus a telerehabilitation program. The telerehabilitation system will allow remote delivery of exercises with real-time monitoring and feedback. Measurement tools will assess various dimensions of knee osteoarthritis, ensuring comprehensive evaluation. Two experimental groups will receive either face-to-face or telerehabilitation sessions twice a week for eight weeks. Both groups will follow structured exercise programs, with the telerehabilitation group receiving remote instructions and feedback. Measurements will be taken before and after the intervention period, as well as at a three-month follow-up. Expected results include confirming and potentially enhancing findings regarding the effectiveness of remote rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis. The study anticipates that telerehabilitation intervention could be equally or more effective than face-to-face intervention, ultimately providing a personalized, self-managed solution for managing chronic conditions like knee osteoarthritis.
80 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were randomized into two groups: patients in Group 1 received a single intraarticular injection of PRP whereas those in group 2 were administered three intraarticular injections of PRP within an interval of 2 weeks between each application. Patients were evaluated before the treatment and at the 6 month after the treatment with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and The Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index.
Globally, the prevalence of total joint replacement (TKR) procedures has been rising, providing patients with better joint function, decreased pain, and enhanced quality of life. A thorough and successful postoperative rehabilitation program, which attempts to restore optimal function and lower the risk of problems related to the treatment, is necessary for the success of total knee replacement (TKR) procedures. After total knee replacement, postoperative rehabilitation is a crucial stage in the patient's healing process. Normal knee function is frequently hampered by issues like pain management, muscular weakness, joint stiffness, and proprioceptive deficiencies. Therefore, choosing a suitable rehabilitation regimen is crucial.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile application in improving postoperative rehabilitation outcomes among patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
The effectiveness of PEMF in improving physical function among Osteoarthritic (OA) patients remains a topic of debate, leading to the American College of Rheumatology not yet endorsing its use in OA treatment. Therefore, it's essential to investigate PEMF therapy's efficacy in alleviating joint pain, stiffness, and enhancing physical function in knee OA patients Our study objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PEMF therapy and to compare its efficacy with TENS in knee OA management.
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of music and ambient noise cancellation during total knee arthroplasty and to analyse the effects on patients. The study will also collect information on patients' functional knee scores and anxiety levels. The main questions to be answered are the following: Does the blocking of music or ambient noise, which is predicted to reduce anxiety, reduce people's anxiety levels? To what extent are participants affected by ambient noise? Does music or ambient noise blocking lead to an improvement in patients' functional scores? The researchers will work with 3 groups of patients who will be exposed to ambient noise blocking, music playing and ambient noise during knee replacement surgery. Participants will do the following: Be asked questions about anxiety and knee function scores before and after surgery. Attend clinical examinations at specified times for checks and tests. Outcomes will be assessed and recorded at appropriate times.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of an exercise programme combined with motor imagery and action observation, both in the short and long term.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the differences in the phenomenon of exercise-induced hypoalgesia in patients with osteoarthritis.
