- Original description
This study aims to investigate the effects of visual rehabilitation and vestibular rehabilitation added to conventional physiotherapy on postural stability, pain, and functional status in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups: conventional physiotherapy, conventional physiotherapy combined with visual rehabilitation, or conventional physiotherapy combined with vestibular rehabilitation. The study will evaluate changes in balance, pain, and functional performance before and after the intervention.Read full original descriptionShow less
Effects of Visual and Vestibular Rehabilitation on Postural Stability, Pain, Functional Status, and Lower Extremity Biomechanics in Individuals With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to investigate the effects of visual rehabilitation and vestibular rehabilitation added to conventional physiotherapy on postural stability, pain, and functional status in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be randomly assigned to three groups: conventional physiotherapy, conventional physiotherapy combined with visual rehabilitation, or conventional physiotherapy combined with vestibular rehabilitation. The study will evaluate changes in balance, pain, and functional performance before and after the intervention.
Inclusion: Clinical and radiological diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis; Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2-3 knee osteoarthritis; Age 40-65 years; Ability to ambulate independently; Voluntary participation and provision of written informed consent. -.
Exclusion: Participation in a balance or vestibular rehabilitation program within the previous 6 months; History of lower extremity surgery; History of neurological, vestibular, or central nervous system disease; Ophthalmological disease that may affect visual perception, visual field, or peripheral vision even with corrected vision (e.g., glaucoma, retinal pathologies, advanced cataract); Systemic disease that would prevent exercise participation (e.g., cardiovascular disease or uncontrolled hypertension); -; Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 4 knee osteoarthritis; Other orthopedic pathologies accompanying knee osteoarthritis.
