- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave on pain, strength and functional status in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Twenty-eight female patients between the ages of 50-65 years, who were diagnosed with OA and were between 1-3 stages according to Kellgren-Lawrence criteria were included in the study. The evaluations and treatments were carried out at Hacettepe University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department, Sports Health Unit. Patients were evaluated before treatment, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain assessment, isokinetic dynamometer for knee muscle strength (ISOMED®2000 D & R GmbH, Germany) and WOMAC scale for functional status were used. For the treatment group, ESWT application was applied once a week and exercise for 6 weeks, and for the control group only exercise regimen was prescribed. Results: While statistically significant results were obtained in all measurements in the intra group analyzes (p<0.05), the parameters which were found statistically significant in the intergroup analyzes; VAS measurements at night and rest and WOMAC test results (p<0.05). The improvement in the control group in the measurement of night pain was more significant (p=0.02). Conclusion: In terms of the parameters assessed in this study, no superiority of ESWT administration over exercise prescription was observed. In knee OA patients, both practices were effective in terms of knee strength, pain reduction, and functional recovery.
