Abstract

Objective: Pain is the the main symptom of knee osteoarthritis. Pain causes immobilisation, limitation in the range of motion (ROM) and periarticular muscle spasm through reflex inhibition. Consequently, patients develop weakness and atrophy in the quadriceps muscle. In this study, the effect of isometric exercises and electrical stimulation was compared on patients with knee osteoarthritis.Materials and Methods: Thirty-eight patients were separated into two groups randomly. In the first group; the combination of paracetamol + infrared + electrical stimulation (20 times, once a day) treatment was applied. In the second group; the combination of paracetamol + infrared + active resistive isometric exercises (20 times, once a day) treatment was applied. The evaluations performed include pre and post-treatment pain, active ROM, thigh circumference measurements, activity time and WOMAC and Lequesne indices. Cross-sections of rectus femoris muscle were measured quantitatively by computerized tomography before and after the treatment. Clinical and radiological findings were evaluated for both groups. Results: Statistically a significant improvement was observed in all of the parameters for both of the groups (p

Özet

Amaç: Diz osteoartritinin ana semptomu ağrıdır. Ağrı, refleks yolla, eklem çevresi kas spazmı, eklem hareket kısıtlığı ve immobilizasyona sebep olur. Sonuçta, kuadriseps kasında zayıflık ve atrofi gelişir. Bu çalışmada, diz osteoartritli hastalarda, izometrik egzersizler ve elektriksel stimülasyon karşılaştırıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Yirmisekiz hasta randomize tek kör olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Birinci grupta; parasetamol + infraruj + elektrik stimülasyonu (günde bir kez, 20 seans) uygulandı. İkinci grupta; parasetamol + infraruj + aktif rezistif izometrik egzersizler (günde bir kez, 20 seans) uygulandı. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası ağrı, aktif eklem hareket açıklığı, uyluk çevresi ölçümleri, aktivite zamanı, WOMAC ve Lequesne indeksleri değerlendirildi. Rektus femoris kasının çapı, tedavi öncesi ve sonrası kantitatif olarak bilgisayarlı tomografi ile ölçüldü. Klinik ve radyolojik bulgular, her iki grupta değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Her iki grupta, parametrelerin tümünde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzelme gözlendi (p
