No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with unilateral knee pain due to knee osteoarthritis presenting to our clinic will be included in a 20-session treatment program, either on an outpatient basis or as inpatients at our clinic. The patients will be divided into 2 groups, and conventional treatments including isometric exercises, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and hot pack therapy for the painful knee will be administered to both groups. In addition to these treatments, the intervention group will receive isokinetic exercise sessions using the Cybex 770 Norm isokinetic dynamometer system (Lumex Inc., Ronkonkoma, New York) at speeds of 60°/s and 180°/s according to the device's standard protocol, targeting the contralateral lower extremity. Subsequently, examinations and measurements will be conducted to evaluate patients for reduction in pain, increase in muscle strength, improvement in functionality, and increase in thigh muscle thickness.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee
  • Exercise

Interventions

OTHER

Cross training for quadriceps muscle of contralateral lower limb

An isokinetic exercise program consisting of 20 sessions conducted five days a week. The program begins with five repetitions at a speed of 60°/s, followed by sets of 5-15 repetitions with incremental increases of 30°/s. Rest periods of 30 seconds were included between sets.

OTHER

Quadriceps isometric exercises, along with hot pack and TENS for painful knee

10 repetitions of quadriceps isometric exercises in 3 sets, along with hot pack and TENS treatments for painful knee
