The aim of this study was to compare the effects of neuromuscular training program and conventional physical therapy program on pain, functional status, physical performance, balance, muscle strength and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
The study was carried out in Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Health Application Research Center in individuals with 2nd or 3rd degree KOA according to Kellgren and Lawrence Classification. The study was planned as a randomized controlled clinical trial design. The study group were recruited to the neuromuscular training program and the control group were recruited to the conventional physical therapy program 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Individuals were evaluated at the baseline and after training programs. Demographic and clinical data were first recorded in the evaluation.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analog Scale | Pain evaluation. The participant is asked to give a score between 1 and 10 for her pain. | At first and third week |
| Western Ontario and McMasterUniversities Osteoarhritis Index | Functional status evaluation. The scale consists of 3 subheadings that evaluate pain, stiffness and physical function. High Western Ontario and McMasterUniversities Osteoarhritis Index score indicates increased pain and stiffness and deterioration in physical function. | At first and third week |
| Time on One Leg Standing | Balance evaluation. Participants were asked to stand on one leg with their eyes open for as long as possible, and the time was measured with a stopwatch and recorded in seconds. | At first and third week |
| Five Times Sit to Stand Test | Physical performance evaluation. The time it takes for the patient to sit and stand up from a chair five times is recorded. As time decreases, it indicates better performance. | At first and third week |
| Manual Muscle Test | Muscle strength evaluation. A score between 0 and 5 is given depending on muscle strength. | At first and third week |
| Short Form | Quality of life evaluation. It consists of 8 subheadings: physical function, problems caused by physical problems, emotional well-being, problems caused by emotional problems, general health, social function, pain, energy/fatigue. High scores indicate good health, low scores indicate poor health. | At first and third week |
