To investigate the efficacy of video-based exercise program, voluntary patients with degenerative meniscus tear, aged between 40-65 years will be randomly divided into two groups: Video-based exercise (VBE) group and standard exercise (SE) group. Interventions will be applied for 16 sessions (twice a week for 8 weeks). The patients will be assessed at baseline and at the end of the 8-week intervention. The pain on activity, at rest and at night will be assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Active range of motion will be assessed with a digital goniometer. Isometric muscle strength will be measured with a handheld dynamometer. The functional status and symptoms will be evaluated by The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale. Health related quality of life will be assessed with Short Form-12 (SF-12).
This randomized-controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of video-based exercise program in patients with degenerative meniscus tear.
