    BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal problem encountered in the postmenopausal period. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the impact of aerobic exercise on functional limitation, exercise tolerance, and performance tests in postmenopausal women with knee OA. METHODS: A total of 50 women (aged between 48-78) with grade 2-3 knee OA according to the Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic scale were enrolled. OA-specific physical performance tests (40 m Fast-Paced Walk Test (40mFPWT), 30 s Chair Stand Test (30sCST), Stair Climb Test (9-step SCT)), six-minute walk test (6MWT), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were performed. Fifty patients were randomized to either the treatment or control groups. The treatment group received an additional aerobic exercise training along with a combined physiotherapy program for six weeks. The aerobic exercise program was carried out by the same physiotherapist every weekday (five days) for six weeks. The control group only received a combined physiotherapy program for six weeks. RESULTS: The post-treatment comparisons of the two groups yielded similar SCT results (p > 0.05), while VAS scores, the results of all performance tests, WOMAC scores, and the distance covered in 6MWT were significantly higher in the treatment group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Consequently, this study provides an insight into the efficacy of the aerobic exercise program applied along with a combined physiotherapy program in postmenopausal women with knee OA.

    Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Lasa Physical Activity Questionnaire (LAPAQ)

    LASA Physical Activity Questionnaire (LAPAQ) is frequently used for the elderly population in the literatüre, and its validity-reliability studies have been carried out.There are also comparative studies with other physical activity questionnaires. This study’s aim is to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the LAPAQ (LAPAQ-T) for elderly individuals. One hundred and seven elderly were included in the study. LAPAQ-T and Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) were administered to the individuals participating in the study on the first day. LAPAQ-T was re-applied by the same physiotherapist 1 week after the first evaluation to measure test-retest reliability. The test-retest took place with the participation of 27 people. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate test-retest reliability. The ICC value for test-retest reliability was found to be 0.977, which suggests excellent test-retest reliability. A high correlation was found between the LAPAQ-T total score and the PASE total score (r=0.703, p<0.001). The results of our study show that the LAPAQ-T is a reproducible, reliable and valid questionnaire that evaluates the level of physical activity for elderly individuals. Therefore the questionnaire will be useful for clinicians in evaluating physical activity.
