The aim of the study is to compare the home exercise program performed with video-based telerehabilitation in patients with degenerative meniscal injury, and the home exercise program performed with one-on-one training in the hospital with conventional methods.
Conventional rehabilitation (CR) practices will be applied to the first study group. Telerehabilitation (TR) application will be applied to the second study group. It is aimed to evaluate the patients in terms of pain, functionality, quality of life and exercise compliance.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | On a 10 cm straight line or numerical scale (0: no pain, 10: unbearable pain). | Change from Baseline VAS at 8 weeks |
| Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) | WOMAC consists of 3 main headings: pain intensity, stiffness, and physical function. The total score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 96 (complete disability). | Change from Baseline WOMAC at 8 weeks |
| SF-12 | SF 12 is a self-evaluation scale. It consists of seven items. Its score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning. | Change from Baseline SF-12 at 8 weeks |
| Muscle Strength Test with Lafayette Hand Held Dynamometer | It is an objective muscle strength measurement tool. Measurements are made 3 times. A rest of 120 seconds is given between measurements. The highest measured value is noted. | Change from Baseline Dynamometer Value at 8 weeks |
| Proprioception Measurement with Baseline Bubble Inclinometer | The "absolute angle difference", which is the difference between the targeted angle and the angle realized by the patient in each repetition, is recorded. The arithmetic mean of the absolute angle difference of 3 repetitions is the result data. | Change from Baseline Inclinometer Value at 8 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| EARS | In order to observe the individual's adaptation to exercise, the motivation levels of the patients regarding the exercise program are evaluated with the exercise diary prepared by the researchers of the study. It is scored between 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate greater adherence. | Change from Baseline EARS at 8 weeks |
