Effects of Mobilized Balance Platform Exercises on Balance Parameters, Functional Status, and Pain in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This prospective single-blind randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of mobilized balance platform exercises on balance parameters, pain, functional status, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A total of 36 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The control group will receive conventional physical therapy including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and a home exercise program consisting of knee strengthening, balance, range of motion, proprioceptive, and stretching exercises. The intervention group will receive the same conventional treatment in addition to mobilized balance platform exercises using the Huber 360 system.
Pain severity, functional status, balance parameters, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia will be evaluated before and after treatment by an assessor blinded to treatment allocation.

Medidas de resultado primarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Static and Dynamic Balance Parameters
Periodo de tiempo: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
Balance performance will be assessed using the Huber 360 balance assessment system.
Measurements will include static balance with eyes open and eyes closed, single-leg balance performance, and limits of stability.
|
Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program

Medidas de resultado secundarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Pain Severity Assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Periodo de tiempo: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
Pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for night pain, resting pain, and pain during movement.
Higher scores indicate greater pain severity.
|
Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
|
Functional Status Assessed by WOMAC
Periodo de tiempo: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
Functional status will be evaluated using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC).
Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitation.
|
Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
|
Functional Mobility Assessed by Timed Up and Go Test
Periodo de tiempo: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
Functional mobility and dynamic balance will be assessed using the Timed Up and Go Test.
Shorter completion times indicate better functional mobility.
|
Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
|
Fear of Falling Assessed by the International Falls Efficacy Scale
Periodo de tiempo: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
Fear of falling during activities of daily living will be evaluated using the International Falls Efficacy Scale.
Higher scores indicate greater concern about falling.
|
Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
|
Kinesiophobia Assessed by Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia
Periodo de tiempo: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
|
Fear of movement and reinjury will be evaluated using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia.
Higher scores indicate greater fear of movement.
|
Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 8-week treatment program
