Brief Summary: Osteoarthritis OA is the most common rheumatologic disease in the world primarily resulting in progressive cartilage destruction It is most common in the knee joint In this study it is aimed to determine the effect of Baduanjin to reduce kinesiobia and increase functional exercise capacity by reducing or completely eliminating balance loss and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis and to shed light on future studies 60 individuals between 40 and 70 years of age with osteoarthritis will be included in the study Individuals will be randomized into three groups In the study Visual Analog Scale VAS was used to assess the severity of pain Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index WOMAC was used to assess physical activity level Berg Balance Scale BDS was used to assess balance Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale TKS was used to assess kinesiophobia Timed Up and Go Test TUGT and 30 Second Sit and Stand Test were used to assess functional levels In our study an exercise program accompanied by a physiotherapist will be applied for 12 weeks 3 days a week Exercise program will be applied to the first group and Baduanjin exercises will be applied to the second group in addition to the exercise program Baduanjin exercise will be applied to the third group synchronously with the telerehabilitation method It is thought that both techniques applied in our study may have positive effects on pain kinesiophobia and physical function
Detailed Description: Osteoarthritis OA is a long-term chronic disease in which stiffness pain and impaired mobility occur when bones rub against each other as a result of deterioration of the cartilage in the joints Although the disease most commonly affects the joints in the knees hands feet and spine it can also be observed in the shoulder and hip joints Clinical symptoms of OA which is a common joint disease include pain joint stiffness weakened proprioception impaired balance and dysfunction that severely affect quality of life

The main aim of osteoarthritis rehabilitation is to prevent functional losses by reducing pain and increasing muscle strength Conservative treatment pharmacologic treatment and surgical treatment are applied in osteoarthritis rehabilitation Exercise practices which are recommended with a high level of evidence are the most important building blocks of conservative treatment In individuals with knee OA strengthening exercises which are the leading exercise interventions increase strength as well as power and endurance As a result of increased muscle strength stress on the joint is reduced resulting in increased correct loading and stabilization Skeletal muscles contract isometrically concentrically and eccentrically to support the body weight against gravity and absorb shock Eccentric strength is an integral part of lower extremity-specific activities of daily living

When the literature is reviewed recent studies have shown that OA patients have positive perspectives on traditional aerobic exercise Tai Chi has been proven to reduce pain and improve physical function Qigong which emerged before Tai Chi is accepted as another traditional aerobic exercise preferred by patients with knee osteoarthritis who cannot tolerate intense physical activities An important complementary part of qigong the Baduanjin exercise Eight-Part Exercises or Eight-Part Brocades consists of eight separate postures supporting the chest drawing arcs to both sides raising one hand practicing looking back waving the hand and wagging the tail touching the feet with both hands climbing with both hands and relaxing the back Baduanjin is a set of exercises a qigong chi kung practice originating in China The term Ba Duan Jin means eight pieces of brocade or eight silk threads in Chinese This series of exercises involves a series of movements involving body posture breath control and mental concentration The main purpose of Baduanjin is to increase the circulation of energy chi or qi promote balance in the body increase flexibility and improve overall health According to traditional Chinese medicine the free circulation of chi and its balanced distribution throughout the body is the key to a healthy life This exercise series aims to create a physical mental and energetic balance

Each can have beneficial effects on different parts of the body or on specific organs Similar to Tai Chi Baduanjin exercise is recognized as a multicomponent therapy that combines physical psychosocial cognitive and spiritual components Compared to Tai Chi Baduanjin exercise has fewer physical and cognitive requirements which makes it very suitable for application in patients with knee osteoarthritis in a short time In this study it is aimed to determine the effect of Baduanjin to reduce kinesiobia and increase functional exercise capacity by reducing or completely eliminating balance loss and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis and to shed light on future studies
