Feasibility of Multi-modal Physical Therapy in Latino Older Adults With

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a small, pilot, pre/post evaluation study enrolling older Hispanic American adults with moderate knee arthritis to evaluate the feasibility of recruitment, retention and adherence after a multimodal 12-week, physical therapy intervention. The secondary aim is to evaluate preliminary estimates of change on physical performance and health related quality of life after the intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Hispanic Americans (HAs) experience more pain and mobility deficits associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) and seek total knee arthroplasties at a reduced rate, thus conservative treatments are needed. Prevalence of knee OA among the older HA population is rising dramatically. There is moderate evidence that lower extremity strengthening, manual therapy and self-management training improve pain and physical performance in people with knee OA and little evidence in the HA population. We conducted a pilot prospective trial implementing a multimodal high intensity targeted strength training, manual therapy and self-management education intervention to evaluate feasibility of recruitment, retention and adherence and preliminary estimates of change on physical performance and health related quality of life (HrQOL) in HAs with moderate knee OA. If this trial is feasible and shows promise for efficacy, it may warrant further testing as a primary treatment for knee OA.

Methods: Spanish speaking older adults will be recruited from Kaiser Permanente San Francisco through a medical record search. Participants will attended 10 physical thearpy clinic visits over 8 weeks, followed by 4 weekly phone calls to assess adherence to exercise via 1-week verbal recall. Participants will be instructed to exercise 3 days per week for the study duration combining both clinic and home exercise participation. The intervention is led in Spanish and will include progressive open and closed-chain quadriceps and gluteal strengthening, progressive cycling training with short power intervals, manual therapy and self-management training. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
