Summary

The main function of the meniscus is to transfer and distribute femoral pressure to the tibia. Treatment of meniscus tears is divided into conservative and surgical treatment. The most preferred methods for patients with meniscus lesions include meniscectomy and exercise therapy. The anterior and posterior horns of the meniscus contain numerous mechanoreceptors, including Ruffini endings (slow adapting) and Pacinian corpuscles (fast adapting), which provide information about the position and movement of the joint. Reduced proprioception due to mechanoreceptor damage from meniscus tears may be associated with decreased postural stability, as sensory information associated with a patient's conscious perception of joint movement through mechanoreceptors in the meniscus may contribute to postural stability.

Dual task is based on the simultaneous maintenance of motor-motor or cognitive-motor performance. Dual tasking is used to evaluate the simultaneous performance of a postural task and a motor or cognitive task to examine the interaction or effect of the secondary task on primary task performance. In a purposeful movement, it is necessary to have the ability to adapt to overcome environmental loads and achieve the goal. This also involves performing a cognitive task simultaneously while performing a motor task. In knee meniscus lesions, knee joint position sense and sensory input decrease, walking speed decreases, and attention devoted to walking increases.

Conditions

  • Meniscus Lesion

Interventions

OTHER

Dual task training

Dual task training is based on the simultaneous maintenance of motor-motor or cognitive-motor performance. The exercises given in single task training will be applied by combining them with cognitive and motor cognitive tasks.

OTHER

Single task training

Single task training is a training approach that aims to improve the performance of individuals by focusing on only one task at a time.

OTHER

Conventional physiotherapy

Range of motion, stretching, resistance exercises, isometric exercise, Before the treatment, a Hotpack will be applied to warm up the muscles, increase flexibility and improve performance. After exercise, transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) will be used to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension and provide faster recovery.
