Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 6-week physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs involving different 'Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation' (PNF) techniques in patients with knee osteoarthritis on pain, proprioception, postural control, muscle strength, range of motion and knee functions

Detailed description

The results obtained from this study will contribute to the selection of PNF technique which is most suitable for physiotherapies working on knee osteoarthritis in clinics as well as demonstrating the efficacy of PNF which has been studied in the literature very few times. As a result of this study, the evidence value of the PNF technique will be determined in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation program of patients with knee osteoarthritis, and the efficacy of this technique, which is theoretically adopted, will be demonstrated scientifically. It will also determine the most ideal of the two PNF techniques to be applied in patients with knee osteoarthritis

Conditions

• Muscle Weakness
• Balance Disorders
