Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlıklı kadınlar ve diz osteoartritli (OA) kadınlarda ağrı, fonksiyonel durum ve yürüme ile ilişkili parametreleri karşılaştırmaktı. Yöntem: Çalışmaya Amerikan Romatoloji Derneği’nin kriterlerine göre diz OA olan 27 kadın (yaş ortalaması 47,25±6,46 yıl) ve 34 sağlıklı kadın (yaş ortalaması 47,29±4,50 yıl) alındı. Bireylerin ağrı şiddeti vizüel analog skalası (VAS) ile sorgulandı. Q açısını değerlendirmek için gonyometrik ölçüm yapıldı. Fiziksel fonksiyonları Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Skalası kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Yürümenin zaman mesafe parametreleri ise Zebris™ FDM-2 cihazı ile ölçüldü. Bulgular: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları diz OA’lı kadınların sağlıklı bireylere göre ağrı şiddetinin daha yüksek ve fonksiyonel düzeylerinin daha düşük olduğunu gösterdi (p<0,05). Yürüme ile ilişkili parametreler incelendiğinde OA’lı kadınlarda sağlıklı kadınlara göre adım uzunluğu (p<0,05), çift adım uzunluğu yüzdesi (p<0,05) ve yürüme hızının (p<0,05) daha düşük, adım genişliğinin daha yüksek (p<0,05) olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma diz OA’lı kadınlarda ağrı şiddeti, fonksiyonel düzey ve yürümenin aynı yaştaki sağlıklı kadınlara göre olumsuz yönde etkilendiğini gösterdi.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the parameters associated with pain, functional condition and walking in healthy women and women with knee osteoartritis (OA).Method: The study was taken by 27 women (the average age of 47.25±6.46 years) and 34 healthy women (the average age of 47.29±4.50 years) with knee OA according to the American Society of Romatology criteria.The pain severity of individuals was questioned by the visual analog scale (VAS).Gonyometric measurements were made to evaluate the Q angle.The physical functions were evaluated using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Scale.The time distance parameters were measured by the Zebris FDM-2 device.™ The findings: The results of this study showed that women with knee OA had higher pain severity and lower functional levels than healthy individuals (p<0,05). When walking-related parameters were studied, women with OA were found to have a lower step length (p<0,05), a double step length percentage (p<0,05) and a lower walking speed (p<0,05) and a higher step width (p<0,05) compared to healthy women. Result: This study showed that women with knee OA have a negative impact on pain severity, functional level and walking compared to healthy women of the same age.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare pain, functionality and walking related parameters in healthy women and women with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: 27 women with knee osteoarthritis (with an average age of 47.25±6.46 years) and 34 healthy women (with an average age of 47.29±4.50 years) were included in the study according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. The magnitude of pain level was questioned via Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Q angle was measured using a universal goniometer. Functional status was evaluated using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Time-distance parameters of walking was measured by Zebris™ FDM-2 equipment. Results: The results of this study showed that pain level was higher and functionality was lower in women with knee osteoarthritis compared to healthy women (p<0.01). It is determined that step length (p <0.05), double step length percentage (p < 0.01) and walking speed measurements (p<0.05) were lower and step width measurements (p<0.05) were higher in women with knee osteoarthritis compared to healthy women. Conclusion: This study showed that pain level, functional status and walking were negatively affected in women with knee osteoarthritis compared to age-matched healthy women.
