Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is planned for investigating effect of downhill-uphill walking exercises on functional level and muscle strength in patients with knee arthroplasty. Patients who have had primary knee arthroplasty and has gone 3 months after surgery will be included in this study. The patients will be divided into two groups by randomization. Totally, 22 patients will be included in this study. Every patients will have same standart post-operative rehabilitation programme. In addition,group 1 will have downhill walking exercises with %10 slope; group 2 uphill walking exercises on the treadmill with %10 slope. Assessments will be made before and after treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is planned for investigating effect of downhill-uphill walking exercises on functional level and muscle strength in patients with knee arthroplasty. Patients who have had primary knee arthroplasty and has gone 3 months after surgery will be included in this study. The patients will be divided into two groups by randomization. Totally, 22 patients will be included in this study. Every patients will have same standart post-operative rehabilitation programme. Assessments will be made before and after treatment. Rehabilitation programme after knee arthroplasty has included muscle strength and endurance, balance and proprioceptive sensation, increasing functional level and providing independence in daily life activities.For this purpose, a standard physiotherapy program will be implemented in accordance with the goals and objectives stated for all patients. In addition,group 1 will have downhill walking exercises with %10 slope; group 2 uphill walking exercises on the treadmill with %10 slope. It takes 30 minutes for one session.

Exercise intensity was measured before treatment; will be determined using the Karvonen formula depending on the heart rate. Walking intensity during exercise; 55% of the maximum heart rate will be determined at the beginning of the treatment and 85% towards the end of the treatment. Walking exercise on the treadmill will be performed in conjunction with a qualified physiotherapist in this area for 4 weeks(3 session in 1 week).

Within the scope of the assessments, patients' pain levels will be determined using the Numeric Pain Scale (NAS). For the knee joint, the normal range of motion will be determined by universal goniometer. For the determination of functional level, Iowa functional activity scale, Iowa ambulatory speed scale and Hospital For Special Surgery (HSS) knee scoring, 10-meter walking speed, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, SF-12(12-Item Short Form Survey) quality of life scale will be used. Hand dynamometer will be used to evaluate muscle strength.These assessments will be made before and after treatment.
