Arthropathy of Knee Clinical Trial
— PMQRPDPOfficial title:
Preliminary Muscle Contraction in the Rehabilitation and Prevention of Degenerative Pain in the Spine, Hip, Knee, Ankle, Shoulder, Elbow, and Ankle Joints, as Well as After Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of muscle preliminary contraction in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. HYPOTHESIS: Muscle preliminary contraction has a significant short-term and long-term effect in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. RESEARCH METHODS: At least 216 patients with degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty, will be studied. They will be randomized into pairwise sub-groups. All will receive standard advice. The maneuver sub¬groups will receive additional advice - preliminary contraction of the muscles in the corresponding kinesiology segment. This advice will be embedded in all motor activities of daily living involving the relevant area. The following follow-up parameters will be used: visual analogue pain scale, manual muscle testing, goniometry, centimeter, and preliminary contraction success rate. Their follow-up will be threefold - at the beginning, after 1, and after 6 months. For statistical processing, multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA), with post hoc Bonferroni multiple tests, and Pearson correlation analysis, with post hoc regression analysis, will be used. CONCLUSION: The positive results will allow the preliminary muscle contraction to be used as a universal tool in the rehabilitation, prevention, and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty (international contribution). This maneuver is very short (seconds), easy (everybody can perform it), does not require the allocation of time, space, and resources (including financial ones), and is instantly incorporated into everyday life.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Visual analogue pain scale | To assess the intensity of pain on a visual analog scale, a 10 centimeters segment is drawn on a piece of paper. The patient notes the intensity of pain on this line between the left end of the line (0=no pain) and the right end (10=maximum pain intensity). The result is registered in centimeters - from 0 to 10 centimeters. | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. | |
Secondary | Preliminary muscle contraction success rate | Success rate refers to how often patients remember to perform preliminary muscle contraction. For example, if this maneuver is skipped every second movement (standing, sitting, bending, standing, lifting, etc.), the success rate is 50%, every third - 77%, every fourth - 85%, and so on. | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. | |
Secondary | Manual muscle testing | Muscle strength is verified against the examiner's manual resistance and grading on a 0 to 5 scale accordingly: 0 - No movement; 1 - Flicker of movement; 2 - Through full range actively with gravity counterbalanced; 3 - Through full range actively against gravity; 4 -Through full range actively against some resistance; 5 - Through full range actively against strong resistance. For statistical comparability and prognostic value, this scale will be transformed into percentages of the norm: 0=0%; 1=14.29%; 2=35.72%; 3=57.14%; 4=78.57%; 5=100%. | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. | |
Secondary | Range of motion | Each specific joint has a range of motion that is expressed in degrees measured by goniometer. For statistical comparability and prognostic value, the angular degrees will be transformed into percentages of the norm from 0 to 100%. | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. | |
Secondary | Centimeter measurements | Centimeter measurements of circumferences of kinetic segments for verification of muscle hypotrophy - in centimeters. | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. | |
Secondary | Thomayer's test | Thomayer's test is performed from a standing position with maximum flexion of the torso, bending the body forward and down with relaxed arms to the floor. The distance from the tip of the extended fingers to the floor is measured in centimeters. Inability to reach the floor with fingers is considered limited ROM (centimeters with a negative sign), when touching the floor with fingers - normal ROM (0 centimeters), and when touching the floor with palms - hypermobility (centimeters with a positive sign). | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. | |
Secondary | Schober's test | Schober's test is performed from a standing position. A 15 cm descending segment from the processus spinosus of L1 (in the caudal direction) is measured and the two points are marked. Maximum flexion of the torso is performed by bending the body forward and downward. From the final flexion position, the distance between the two marked points is measured. The increase in the distance between the two points is recorded. The reference values are from 2.5 to 5 cm., i.e. under 2.5 cm. is considered hypomobility, and over 5 cm. - hypermobility. | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. | |
Secondary | Ott's test | Ott's test is performed from a standing position. A 30 cm descending segment from the processus spinosus of C7 is measured (in the caudal direction) and the two points are marked. Maximum flexion of the torso is performed by bending the body forward and downward. From the final flexion position, the distance between the two marked points is measured. The increase in the distance between the two points is registered. Reference values are from 2.5 to 5 cm., i.e. under 2.5 cm. is considered hypomobility, and over 5 cm. - hypermobility. | At baseline, at 1 month, and at 6 months. |
