Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of neuromuscular training program and conventional physical therapy program on pain, functional status, physical performance, balance, muscle strength and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).

Detailed Description

The study was carried out in Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Health Application Research Center in individuals with 2nd or 3rd degree KOA according to Kellgren and Lawrence Classification. The study was planned as a randomized controlled clinical trial design. The study group were recruited to the neuromuscular training program and the control group were recruited to the conventional physical therapy program 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Individuals were evaluated at the baseline and after training programs. Demographic and clinical data were first recorded in the evaluation.
