Validity & Reliability of the Two-Minute Step Test in Traumatic Meniscal

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to explore the validity and reliability of the two-minute walk test as an assessment method for functional capacity in patients diagnosed with traumatic meniscal tear. The objective is to determine the effectiveness of this test in accurately measuring the functional abilities of individuals with traumatic meniscus tears. By focusing on patients who have been diagnosed with such injuries and employing the two-minute walk test, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the suitability of this evaluation tool for assessing functional capacity in this specific patient population. The findings of this research have the potential to contribute significantly to the clinical understanding and management of traumatic meniscal tears, offering clinicians a reliable and valid method for evaluating the functional capabilities of affected individuals.

Clinical Trial Description

The study is planned as a prospective cross-sectional clinical study. Fifty-five patients diagnosed with traumatic meniscal tear who apply to the Istanbul Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital clinics will be included in the study. Patients must have a previous diagnosis of traumatic meniscal tear based on magnetic resonance imaging. Sociodemographic data such as age, height, weight, body mass index, marital status, education level, and occupation will be recorded. The level of impairment in daily activities of patients with meniscal tear will be assessed using the Western Ontario Meniscus Evaluation Questionnaire. Pain intensity will be evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale, a linear scale of 10 cm. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale will be used to assess the patient's level of distress due to pain. The patient's confidence level in performing different activities due to pain will be evaluated using the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. The patient's physical function will be assessed using the 2-Minute StepTest. This test, to be administered by two different evaluators, requires the patient to have rested for at least 30 minutes before starting, and there will be a minimum of 30 minutes of rest between the tests conducted by the two evaluators. Before starting the tests, the patient's blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate will be measured, and if results are outside the normal range, the test will not proceed. One week after the assessment, the 2-Minute Step Test will be repeated by the same two evaluators." ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
