Effects of Mobilized Balance Platform Exercises on Balance Parameters in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital
Summary
This prospective single-blind randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of mobilized balance platform exercises on balance parameters, pain, functional status, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A total of 36 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The control group will receive conventional physical therapy including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and a home exercise program consisting of knee strengthening, balance, range of motion, proprioceptive, and stretching exercises. The intervention group will receive the same conventional treatment in addition to mobilized balance platform exercises using the Huber 360 system. Pain severity, functional status, balance parameters, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia will be evaluated before and after treatment by an assessor blinded to treatment allocation.

Interventions
Huber 360 Balance Training
Participants will perform mobilized balance platform exercises using the Huber 360 system. The exercise protocol will include quadriceps and core strengthening, proprioceptive training, balance exercises, and neuromuscular exercises specifically designed for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Sessions will be performed 3 times per week for 20 minutes.
Conventional Physical Therapy
Participants will receive conventional physical therapy including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and a home exercise program consisting of knee strengthening, balance, range of motion, proprioceptive, and stretching exercises performed 3 times per week for 20 minutes.
