Abstract

Objective: Knee is the peripheral joint where osteoarthritis is most prevalent. Drugs, physiotherapy modalities, exercises and surgical procedures are used in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Among physiotherapy modalities, ultrasound and short wave diathermy are frequently used. Our study was carried out in order to compare the efficacy of ultrasound and short wave diathermy treatments in combination with exercises. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with knee osteoarthritis, whose ages varied between 40 and 60, were included in the study. The patients were divided into two randomized groups of 15 patients. Ultrasound diathermy was administrated to one of the groups while the other group received short wave diathermy for 15 days. Additionally, isometric quadriceps exercises were performed in patients of both groups. Pre-treatment and post-treatment evaluations of the patients were carried out with regards to pain and function by visual analogue scale and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), respectively. Results: At the end of treatment, statistically significant (p0.05). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that either ultrasound or short wave diathermy treatments in combination with exercises were efficient on symptoms and functional status in knee osteoarthritis.

Özet

Amaç: Diz, osteoartritin en sık görüldüğü periferik eklemdir. Diz osteoartritinin tedavisinde medikal tedavi, fizik tedavi modaliteleri, egzersiz ve cerrahi yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Fizik tedavi modaliteleri içinde ultrason ve kısa dalga diatermi sık kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmamız diz osteoartritinde egzersiz ile kombine edilmiş ultrason ve kısa dalga diatermi tedavilerinin etkinliğini karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya yaşları 40-60 arasında değişen primer diz osteoartriti olan 30 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar randomize olarak 15'er kişilik iki gruba ayrıldı. Onbeş gün süreyle bir gruba ultrason, diğer gruba ise kısa dalga diatermi tedavisi uygulandı. Ayrıca her iki gruptaki hastalara izometrik kuadriseps egzersizleri uygulandı. Hastalar başlangıç ve tedavi sonunda vizüel anolog skala ile ağrı, fonksiyonel açıdan Western Ontorio and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Tedavi sonunda her iki grupta da ağrı ve fonksiyonel açıdan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzelme elde edildi (p0,05). Sonuç: Bulgularımız diz osteoartritinde egzersiz ile kombine edilmiş ultrason ve kısa dalga tedavilerinin her ikisinin de semptomlar ve fonksiyonel durum üzerine etkili olduğunu göstermiştir.
