Thumb Osteoarthritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Role of the Proprioceptive Training in Functional Recovery of Patient With Thumb Base Osteoarthritis. A Multicenter Experimental Study
Diseases that have implications for the thumb impact its function, and consequently, people occupational performance. Carpometacarpal joint (CMC) thumb degeneration translates into osteoarthritis (OA). Joint congruence, ligament integrity and compression of the joint surfaces caused by muscle contraction have historically been considered the three basic pillars for carpus stability. In recent years, a new factor has been proposed to explain carpal stabilization mechanisms: proprioception. The dorsal ligament complex is the structure with the highest concentration of mechanoreceptors, especially Ruffini's corpuscles. This study aims to detect the effect of proprioceptive training on the functional recovery of people with CMC osteoarthritis in conservative treatments.
The carpometacarpal joint (CMC) of the thumb presents a paradoxical relationship between mobility and stability that confers it a high mechanical complexity, and it is continuously subjected to great efforts and repetitive movements during its use that lead to degenerative changes in susceptible individuals. The thumb CMC join degeneration results in osteoarthritis (OA). Joint congruence, ligament integrity, and compression of the articular surfaces caused by muscle contraction have historically been considered the three basic pillars for carpal stability. In recent years, a new factor has been proposed to explain carpal stabilization mechanisms: proprioception. All afferents originating from the thumb mechanoreceptors constitute thumb proprioception. The dorsal ligament complex is the structure with the highest concentration of mechanoreceptors, especially Ruffini's corpuscles. Classically, in conservative treatments, orthotic positioning is paramount. This study aims to detect the effect of proprioceptive training on the functional recovery of people with CMC osteoarthritis, from the comparison of a classic conservative orthotic treatment protocol vs. a conservative orthotic treatment protocol including exercises for proprioceptive training. A randomized clinical trial is proposed within a multicenter study involving the Clínica Universitaria Reina Fabiola, Argentina and the Centro Tecan. Clínica de la Mano, Spain. The patients will be randomized into a control group that will receive orthosis treatment; and an experimental group that will also receive a home proprioceptive exercise program. Pain will be evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale; functional capacity with the Australian Canadian Osteoarthritis Hand Index Version Functional Subscale; Occupational Productivity Performance with the Canadian Measure of Occupational Performance; and proprioception with the Joint Position Sense Test. Follow up: at 30 days and at 90 days. 50 patients will participate. ;
