Brief Summary:
Our primary goal is to investigate the advantages of low-intensity laser therapy (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) over conventional therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), our secondary goal is to investigate the advantages of HILT and LLLT; to compare its analgesic effects, its effects on functional status and quality of life, and its effects on femoral cartilage thickness.
Detailed Description:
In the study, those who applied to Ankara City Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital outpatient clinic between 01.10.2020-01.10.2021, were between the ages of 55-75, were diagnosed with primary knee OA according to the American Rheumatology Association, stage 2-3 knee according to Kellgren and Lawrence radiological classification. with OA; 72 volunteer patients with knee pain with a visual pain score of 4 and above for at least 3 months were included. The study was designed as a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-center. Patients were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups. Conventional treatment including hotpack therapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), joint range of motion exercises, straight leg lifting exercises, quadriceps strengthening exercises, pillow squeezing exercises, balance exercises on one leg for 4 weeks, 3 days a week for 4 weeks in 24 patients in the first group, conventional treatment and HILT were applied to 24 patients in the second group, and conventional treatment and LLLT were applied to 24 patients in the third group.
