No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Genicular nerve block (GNB) is a novel and promising interventional method for pain in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However ,it contains afferent fibers that receive impulses from proprioceptive and deep sensory receptors located in the joint capsule, ligaments, muscles, tendons and periosteum. These proprioceptive stimuli are effective on joint position and biomechanics, protect the joint from injuries and help maintain balance. This study aims to evaluate Pproprioception and static balance after ultrasound-guided GNB in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Osteoarthritis, Knee
  • Proprioceptive Disorders
  • Balance; Distorted

Interventions

DRUG

Genicular blocks (dexamethazone and lidocaine)

Genicular blocks were applied bilaterally by another physiatrist who was experienced in ultrasonographic (US) interventional procedures more than 5 years. Total of 6mL solution consisting of 0.5 mg/2mL dexamethazone and 4mL %1 lidocaine for three branches of genicular nerves (superomedial, superolateral and inferomedial branches) was divided into three branches for each knee. Total of 12 mL solution was applied for each patient.
