Kinesiophobia, Pain, Functional Status and Self-Efficacy in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between kinesiophobia, pain, functional status and self efficacy in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Material and Methods: The study was performed on 72 individuals diagnosed with Stage 2 and Stage 3 knee osteoarthritis according to the Kellgren Lawrence classification. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used to evaluate kinesiophobia, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) was used to asses the functional status. Self efficacy was assessed using the Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale (ASES).

| Stage 2 Knee osteoarthritis<br>The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to determine the severity of the pain. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) was used to evaluate kinesiophobia. The functional state was evaluated using The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). The Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale was used to determine self efficacy perception. | Diagnostic Test: Kellgren Lawrence classification<br>* The Kellgren Lawrence classification was used in the radiological evaluation. It is a classification method used in the staging of knee osteoarthritis. Five stages were defined according to the anteroposterior X-ray.(Stage 0-5)<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | Pain assessment, between 0-10 points. Low score low pain | After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program. | 
| Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia | Kinesiophobia assessment, between 17-68 points. Low score low kinesiophobia. | After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program. | 
| The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index | Functional state assessment, between 0-96 points. Low score good functional status. | After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program. | 
| Arthritis Self Efficacy Scale | Self Efficacy assessment, between 20-100 points. Low score low self-efficacy. | After the participants were examined, evaluations were made before starting the physical therapy program. |
