Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Video exercise component of the telerehabilitation would provide additional contribution to the patients. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of telerehabilitation-based exercise program and conventional (given on paper) exercise and training combination practices on pain, functionality, balance, proprioception and quality of life in patients with knee OA.

Detailed description: Owing to telerehabilitation, exercise video suppliment will enable individuals to learn the exercise programs in the most appropriate way, have comprehensive information about their condition, and communicate easily with their physiotherapists. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of telerehabilitation-based exercise program and conventional (given on paper) exercise and training combination practices on pain, functionality, balance, proprioception and quality of life in patients with knee OA.
