Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
The Video-based exercise (VBE) group
Each subject in the video-based exercise group (only video-based intervention) will receive a treatment protocol consisting of stretching, strengthening, and functional exercises for the knee and hip.
The video-based exercise (VBE)
An 8-week exercise program will be implemented as part of the conservative treatment for degenerative meniscal tears. The physiotherapist will prepare an instructional video that provides a detailed explanation and demonstration of each exercise. Patients will watch this video at home and perform the exercises according to the video instructions.
The standard exercise (SE) group
Each subject in the standard exercise group (only clinic-based intervention) will receive a treatment protocol consisting of stretching, strengthening, and functional exercises for the knee and hip.
The standard exercise (SE)
An 8-week exercise program used in conservative treatment of degenerative meniscus tears will be performed.
An exercise program will be performed at the clinic.
The hybrid exercise (HE) group
Each subject in the hybrid exercise group (video-based and clinical-based interventions) will receive a treatment protocol consisting of stretching, strengthening, and functional exercises for the knee and hip.
The hybrid exercise (HE)
An 8-week exercise program will be implemented as part of the conservative treatment for degenerative meniscal tears using a hybrid telerehabilitation model. For the home-based component, the physiotherapist will prepare an instructional video that includes a detailed description and demonstration of each exercise. Patients will watch this video at home and perform the prescribed exercises by following the instructions provided in the video. In addition to the home program, patients will also participate in supervised exercise sessions conducted in the clinical setting.
