Protocol summary

Summary
Objective: The effect of home-based rehabilitation training on pain, performance, general health and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis Methodology: This is an experimental study. Samples of this study were 74 patients who conformed to the inclusion criteria (no history of surgical-related disease, having radiological symptoms of osteoarthritis in knee with a physician's approval, and non-use of an intra-articular injectable drug). They were selected among all patients with knee osteoarthritis referring to the clinic Nos. 2 of Persian Gulf Bushehr from 2017/10/23 to 2018/02/20. They were assigned to two intervention and control groups by randomized blocking method. Research intervention for each intervention group was three 1-hour training sessions that took place individually and face-to-face over the course of 3 consecutive days and follow up was continued for two months after home-based training but it was not given to the educational control group. Pain, performance, general health and quality of life in both groups before and after two months of intervention were measured using a visual analog scale of pain, a questionnaire, a general health questionnaire, and a (SF-12) questionnaire. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistical tests and at a significant level of 95%. Outcome: Rehabilitation training by nurses, as an inexpensive, accessible and effective intervention at home, is expected to be an effective step in reducing pain, improving performance, general health and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
