Brief Summary:
Osteoarthritis OA is a chronic degenerative disease of articular cartilage that causes hypertrophic changes in bone OA is a non-inflammatory progressive musculoskeletal disease and is one of the most common degenerative diseases in the general population OA is characterized by progressive cartilage destruction in load-bearing joints subchondral sclerosis osteophyte formation and some biochemical and morphological changes in the synovial membrane and joint capsule Common symptoms of knee osteoarthritis are Knee pain that increases with activity limitation of normal joint movement of the knee edema and knee pain that begins with prolonged sitting
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of laser treatment applied in addition to conventional physiotherapy on pain function muscle strength and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis who received PRP

Detailed Description:
OA is a non-inflammatory progressive musculoskeletal disease damage begins in the cartilage and causes changes in the joint structure over time Although intra-articular injection approaches have been frequently used in the treatment of OA recently intra-articular injections known as Platelet Rich Plasma PRP have also started to be used frequently Today the areas of use of laser therapy have increased When the laser beam is applied it is absorbed by the tissue or scattered back Laser has photochemical thermal and ionizing effects on tissues Laser has an analgesic effect by increasing endorphin synthesis and reducing C nerve fiber activation Laser indirectly increases microcirculation by increasing temperature in the tissue Although there are various studies on treatment options for OA in the literature no studies have been found to investigate the effectiveness of laser treatment applied in addition to conventional treatment after PRP In our study we aimed to evaluate the effects of laser treatment applied in addition to conventional physiotherapy on pain function muscle strength and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis who received PRP
