Summary

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, which can affect all joints in the body and includes synovial inflammation, cartilage degeneration, osteophyte formation and bone remodeling in its pathophysiology. Many approaches are used in its treatment, and the effectiveness of exercise in conservative treatment has been proven. Many exercise methods such as strengthening, balance, aquatherapy are applied, but there is no definite consensus on exercise prescribing.Programs that focus on restoring balance and proprioception are called "sensorimotor or neuromuscular trainings". Previous studies have shown that neuromuscular exercises reduce pain, improve function, improve balance, and cause positive biomechanical changes in knee osteoarthritis and meniscus injuries. Progressive Motor Imagery (AMI) is an approach in rehabilitation where the focus is on progressive brain exercise. It is an education that approaches patients with pain, activity limitation and functional loss with a holistic view within the framework of the biopsychosocial model.

The aim of this study; to examine the effects of two current treatment programs (AMI, SM training) on symptoms, functionality, balance and proprioception parameters in osteoarthritis rehabilitation.
