AB  - Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, diz osteoartriti (OA) olan hastalarda statik düşük açılı squat (SDAS) egzersizi sonrasında egzersiz kaynaklı hipoaljezi (EKH) etkisinin basınç ağrı eşiği (BAE) üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Diz osteoartriti olan 32 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik ve klinik verileri kaydedildi. Algometre kullanılarak ağrılı diz ve biseps kasındaki BAE'ler ölçüldü, ağrı şiddeti için görsel analog skala (GAS) kullanıldı. Katılımcılara, standartlaştırılmış tek seanslık SDAS egzersizi yaptırıldı. BAE'leri egzersiz öncesi ve hemen sonrasında değerlendirildi. Ağrı şiddeti, egzersiz öncesi, sırasında ve sonrasında GAS kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Egzersiz öncesi ve sonrasında mobiliteyi ölçmek için Zamanlı Kalk ve Yürü testi (ZKYT) kullanıldı.Sonuçlar: Diz ekleminin medial ve lateral taraflarındaki BAE’ler, SDAS egzersizi sonrasında anlamlı bir artış gösterdi (p0.05). Düşük açılı squat egzersizi sırasında ağrı şiddeti anlamlı şekilde artarken, egzersiz sonrasında anlamlı şekilde azaldı (p
