| Magnetic field application | Device | The applicator (Size: 15x15 cm) has placed 1-3 cm above the skin surface at the painful area. During the treatment, treatment has applied with ready-made protocols included in the device. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales.Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain. | The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program. |
| 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) | The SF-36 is a 36-item self-report measure of health-related quality of life. It has eight subscales measuring different domains of health-related quality of life: physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role-emotional (RE), and mental health (MH). | The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program. |
| Manual Muscle Test | Manual muscle testing is based on the physiotherapist manually applying resistance to the muscle or muscle group to be evaluated. | The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program. |
| The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) | The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. The LEFS can be used by clinicians as a measure of patients' initial function, ongoing progress and outcome, as well as to set functional goals. | The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program. |

| Conventional treatment | Other | Within the scope of conventional treatment, hotpack application, transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), interferential current and ultrasound treatment modalities will be applied. In addition, strengthening exercises will be applied to the muscles around the hip and knee and stretching exercises will be applied to the short muscle groups. |
