Clinical Trial Summary

Osteoarthritis is characterized by progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, weakening of subchondral bone, synovial inflammation, meniscal degeneration, and intra-articular osteophytes.

Description:

Dual tasking is when two tasks can be done simultaneously. A dual task may involve two different simultaneous motor tasks, or it may include a cognitive task in addition to the motor task. Following the additional task given, there may be a decrease in the performance of the main task or in the performance of both tasks. Decreased balance control can lead to fall injuries that result in serious physical, psychological and social losses. Before the management of this condition, an effective evaluation of balance control in patients with knee osteoarthritis is required.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Lower extremity muscle strength	In the measurement of lower extremity muscle strength, Quadriceps and Hamstring muscle strength will be measured with an isokinetic dynamometer (CSMI-Cybex Humac-Norm Testing & Rehabilitation System). The knee extension test will be performed in a sitting position. The test foot will be secured with a Velcro strap by placing it on the dynamometer arm 1 inch above the ankle. The lateral epicondyle of the femur will be used as the anatomical reference with which the axis of the dynamometer is aligned. Two different speeds of maximal reciprocal concentric isokinetic knee extension and flexion; will be measured as slow (60°/s, 5 reps, 10 sec. rest) and fast (180°/s, 15 reps, 10 sec. rest)	3 days
Primary	30 second sit and stand test	It is a functional evaluation test. It measures the time it takes to sit and stand in a 43-centimeter-high chair with back support but no armrests for 30 seconds. After the "Start" command, the participant must stand up fully, then return to the initial sitting position. The participant will be motivated to complete as many full sit-ups as possible within 30 seconds. The score is the total number of sits in 30 seconds.	3 days
Secondary	Western Ontario and MacMaster	The Western Ontario and MacMaster (WOMAC) questionnaire consists of a series of questions that assess three primary dimensions of osteoarthritis: pain, stiffness, and physical functionThe most commonly used scoring system for the WOMAC is the Likert scale, which ranges from 0 to 4 or 0 to 5 for each item.The maximum score would be 96 (the sum of the maximum scores from the three subscales).	one day
Secondary	Visual Analog Scale	Visual Analogue Scale, pain level, right and left extremities were evaluated separately. In addition, three different measurements were taken as rest, activity and night. For individuals, a value of 0 was "no pain"; A value of 10 was defined as "unbearably severe pain". The point marked by the patient was measured with a tape measure, and the examined value was recorded.	one day
