Brief Summary

This study is designed to explore the validity and reliability of the two-minute step test as an assessment method for functional capacity in patients diagnosed with traumatic meniscal tear. The objective is to determine the effectiveness of this test in accurately measuring the functional abilities of individuals with traumatic meniscus tears. By focusing on patients who have been diagnosed with such injuries and employing the two-minute step test, the study aims to provide valuable insights into the suitability of this evaluation tool for assessing functional capacity in this specific patient population. The findings of this research have the potential to contribute significantly to the clinical understanding and management of traumatic meniscal tears, offering clinicians a reliable and valid method for evaluating the functional capabilities of affected individuals.

Detailed Description

The study is planned as a cross-sectional clinical study. Fifty-five patients diagnosed with traumatic meniscal tear who apply to the Istanbul Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital clinics will be included in the study. Patients must have a previous diagnosis of traumatic meniscal tear based on magnetic resonance imaging.

Sociodemographic data such as age, height, weight, body mass index, marital status, education level, and occupation will be recorded. The level of impairment in daily activities of patients with meniscal tear will be assessed using the Western Ontario Meniscus Evaluation Questionnaire. Pain intensity will be evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale, a linear scale of 10 cm. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale will be used to assess the patient's level of distress due to pain. The patient's confidence level in performing different activities due to pain will be evaluated using the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire.

The patient's physical function will be assessed using the 2-Minute StepTest. This test, to be administered by the same evaluator, requires the patient to have rested for at least 30 minutes before starting, and there will be a minimum of 1 hour of rest between the tests conducted. Before starting the tests, the patient's blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate will be measured, and if results are outside the normal range, the test will not proceed.
