The main purpose of the study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of the thermal water of Győr (Gyirmót) well No. B-308 OKK on patients with knee arthrosis, and to compare its therapeutic effect with tap water (placebo) group.
Knee osteoarthrosis that has existed for at least 3 months
Age between 50 and 80 years
Willingness to participate in 3-week outpatient rehabilitation treatment
Pain in the knee joint lasting at least 3 months and at least 5 days a week
Any kind of physiotherapy treatment in the last 2 months (except home gymnastics)
Any previous knee joint surgery
Any trauma to the knee or hip joint in the 1 year prior to the examination
Knee arthroscopy performed within 3 months prior to the examination
Parallel
medicinal water
Other interventionMedicinal water treatment in bath tub once daily.
Change from the baseline in range of motion of the knee measured with goniometer at week 3 and 12
Goniometer is a range of motion measuring device. Its measuring range is 180 degrees. Change = (Week 3 degree - Baseline degree), Change = (Week 12 degree - Baseline degree)
30-second Chair Stand Test
The test counts the number of times the patient comes to a full standing position in 30 seconds. Change = (Week 3 number - Baseline number), Change = (Week 12 number - Baseline number)
Timed Up and Go (TUG)
It is a simple test that measures how quickly you can stand up, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back, and sit down. It is done to assess mobility in older adults or predict their risk of falls. Many healthy adults less than 80 years old can complete the TUG test in 10 seconds or less. Change = (Week 3 seconds - Baseline seconds), Change = (Week 12 seconds - Baseline seconds)
Change from baseline in pain on the 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at week 3 and 12
The visual analogue scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels. Change = (Week 3 point - Baseline point), Change = (Week 12 point - Baseline point)
