Brief Summary

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

This study was planned to investigate the long-term effectiveness of the early application of graded motor imagery therapy on pain parameters, functional performance, motor imagery skill, and kinesiophobia in individuals who underwent total knee arthroplasty surgery after knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed Description

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

Participants aged 45-80 who are scheduled for total knee arthroplasty surgery after knee osteoarthritis will be included. Participants will be selected from the relevant population using a nonprobability random sampling method. Participants who agree to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria will be assigned to one of the groups (conventional rehabilitation-only or conventional rehabilitation with graded motor imagery) using the closed envelope method. Evaluations will be made one day before surgery, 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery for each group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Graded Motor Imagery

Individuals will receive standard rehabilitation and graded motor imagery treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Graded Motor Imagery

Intervention Type OTHER

The graded motor imaging program will be set to 2 weeks each component. Participants will receive lateralization for the first 2 weeks, motor imagery for 2 weeks, and mirror therapy for 2 weeks. At the same time, standard rehabilitation will be applied for 6 weeks. Treatments will begin 24-48 hours after surgery. Treatments will be applied under the control of a physiotherapist 3 days a week and as home exercise 3 days a week.

Standard Rehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

Standard rehabilitation consisting of cold therapy, stretching and strengthening exercises will be applied. Treatment will be applied under the control of a physiotherapist 3 days a week and as home exercise 3 days a week.

Standard Rehabilitation Group

Standard rehabilitation will be applied.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Rehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

Standard rehabilitation consisting of cold therapy, stretching and strengthening exercises will be applied. Treatment will be applied under the control of a physiotherapist 3 days a week and as home exercise 3 days a week.
