Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of the video-based exercise programs in patients with degenerative meniscus tears.

Conditions

  • Degenerative Disease
  • Meniscus Tear
  • Knee Pain Swelling

Interventions

OTHER

The video-based exercise (VBE)

An 8-week exercise program will be implemented as part of the conservative treatment for degenerative meniscal tears. The physiotherapist will prepare an instructional video that provides a detailed explanation and demonstration of each exercise. Patients will watch this video at home and perform the exercises according to the video instructions.

OTHER

The standard exercise (SE)

An 8-week exercise program used in conservative treatment of degenerative meniscus tears will be performed. An exercise program will be performed at the clinic.

OTHER

The hybrid exercise (HE)

An 8-week exercise program will be implemented as part of the conservative treatment for degenerative meniscal tears using a hybrid telerehabilitation model. For the home-based component, the physiotherapist will prepare an instructional video that includes a detailed description and demonstration of each exercise. Patients will watch this video at home and perform the prescribed exercises by following the instructions provided in the video. In addition to the home program, patients will also participate in supervised exercise sessions conducted in the clinical setting.
