Physical activity like walking is one important way to reduce pain and improve wellbeing for older adults with knee and hip arthritis, but most older adults and particularly those who identify as African American struggle to walk regularly. Many African Americans with arthritis have worse outcomes (like worse pain, worse overall health) than other racial and ethnic groups for many reasons including racist policies and ideas that make getting good health care more difficult. It is therefore most important to identify ways to help older adults who identify as African American improve their arthritis pain and improve their daily steps. The current study is designed to learn about older African American's preferences for a brief behavioral intervention to increase daily steps and reduce pain, and to learn about the barriers (things that make walking harder) and facilitators (things that make walking easier) for walking that they experience. Interviews with both patients and healthcare providers will provide important information that will be used to adapt an existing behavioral intervention designed to help patients increase their daily steps and reduce their arthritis pain. The final adapted intervention will be tested in a small clinical trial with older adults who identify as African American to see if it can reduce pain and increase walking over time.
Osteoarthritis is a chronic, degenerative disease affecting the joints. It is characterized by the presence of bone tissue that goes to make up for the loss of articular cartilage, causing pain and limitation of movement. Osteoarthritis is a direct consequence of aging: it affects almost all 70-year-olds, peaking between 75 and 79 years. The presence of osteoarthritic processes at the hip and knee joints can result in pain, difficulty maintaining standing for a long time, and difficulty walking with loss of balance, increasing the risk of accidental falls to the ground. Falls are a frequent cause of mortality and morbidity and, often, limit autonomy leading to premature entry into assisted living facilities. In Italy, in 2002 it was estimated that 28.6% of people over 65 years fall within a year: of these, 43% fall more than once and 60% of falls occur at home. Such falls can often result in fractures leading to the need for hospitalization with significant impact on both motor and cognitive function. Balance and gait rehabilitation are of primary importance for the recovery of a person's autonomy and independence, especially in older individuals who have undergone osteosynthesis or prosthesis surgery of the lower limbs. Technological and robotic rehabilitation allows for greater intensity, objectivity, and standardization in treatment protocols, as well as in outcome measurement. In this context, patient motivation is fuelled and maintained by both the sensory stimuli that support technological treatment and the challenge of achieving ever better results, objective feedback from instrumental assessments. Osteoarthritic patients who have undergone osteosynthesis or lower extremity prosthetic surgery require special attention, especially with the goal of preventing further accidents and reducing the patient's risk of falling. Given these considerations, it is believed that conventional physical therapy combined with technological balance treatment may be more effective on rehabilitation outcome than conventional therapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to test the OA Clinic-Community CARE Model (OA CARE) which will address all recommended components of knee/hip (osteoarthritis) OA care, include interventions for both patients and primary care providers (PCPs), and utilize a tailored approach that efficiently matches treatments with patients' needs. The patient component of OA CARE will include evidence-based weight management and exercise programs for all participants (delivered through the YMCA), as well as tailored referrals to physical therapy, additional weight management or nutrition services, sleep-related services and psychological services. The PCP component of OA CARE will include a video-based summary of current OA treatment guidelines (with emphasis on practical application), collaboration on patients' referrals to specific services described above, and progress reports on enrolled patients.
Task-oriented leg exercise are commonly used after joint surgeries in various hip pathologies. Based on this theory, it was hypothesized that task-oriented exercise without conventional physiotherapy can have better result in recovery of balance and leg function than with a conventional post-hip physiotherapy program after hip replacement surgery. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of task-oriented exercise on balance and leg function after total hip replacement.
To assess minimal clinically important change, cut-offs for treatment failure and patient acceptable symptom state for pain and patient-reported function and quality of life in persons with hip or knee osteoarthritis, participating in digitally delivered first-line education and exercise treatment.
Objectives of this study is evaluate effectivness of AESCULAP® Plasmafit® Plasmafit Cementless Acetabular System With Vitelene® Vitamin E Stabilized Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene compare to the sane sistem without Vitamin E, and ceramic or metal femoral heads
Prospective observational, national, multicentre, open study with a class III medical device with EC marking. Study to evaluate the clinical benefit of local treatment with KD intra-articular® gel in patients with osteoarthritis of the shoulder, hip, ankle or base of the thumb. The study will be conducted in the Rheumatology Service of Spanish Hospitals under the usual medical conditions, in accordance with routine clinical practice and following the internationally recognised precepts of good clinical practice of ICH and Declaration of Helsinki. The objective is to evaluate the evolution of pain in patients diagnosed with single or preferential symptomatic osteoarthritis of the shoulder or hip treated with KD Intra-Articular® gel 2.2% - 44 mg in 2 ml - (Pronolis® HD one 2.2%), and ankle or base of the thumb treated with KD Intra-Articular® gel 1.6% - 16 mg in 1 ml - (Pronolis® HD mini 1.6%). Eighty patients will be included among about 6 Spanish Sites. The study comprises a maximum of 6 visits per protocol. At visit 0, informed consent will be obtained, the patient will be checked for fulfil the selection criteria. A pain assessment will also be carried out using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the corresponding questionnaire will be completed depending on the affected joint. According to the usual clinical practice of the site, the study treatment will be administered. A week after the first infiltration the second visit (V1) will be applied, and the VAS will be repeated. The patient's global clinical impression of change will also be assessed, and along with the Likert scale of satisfaction will be collected. The next visit (V2) will be carried out a week after the second infiltration and the procedures will be the same as those of the previous visit (V1). At 4 (V3), 12 (V4) and 24 (V5) weeks after receiving the third infiltration (V2), follow-up visits will be carried out where the assessment procedures will be the same as in visit 0, in addition to the GCI -C, the Likert scale of satisfaction and the collection of potential AEs and changes in concomitant medication. At each visit, the patient will be given a diary, where they will collect the rescue medication they have needed since the previous visit. In the electronic case report form (eCRF), the rescue medication (analgesics and NSAIDs) that you have needed since the previous visit (V0-V2) or in the month prior to the study visit (V3-V6) will be collected.
There is no scientific study in the literature regarding the use of shock wave therapy in hip osteoarthritis. In this study, we aim to investigate both the effectiveness of ESWT and which type of ESWT can be more effective in hip osteoarthritis.
One of the typical complications which occurs after total hip replacement (THR) procedure is heterotopic ossification (HO). According to current studies abnormal formation of bone after trauma or replacement of the hip could reach even 90% of cases. Heterotopic ossifications are causing the following symptoms, such as: pain, swelling, erythema and warmth along with joint immobility. Those factors could have an impact on maintaining the posture, especially in patients after THR. It is well known since the 90s that the risk of fall among the population older than 65 is high. Data shows that over 30% of those people have such an incident at least once in a year. Majority of them do not have further consequences, however about 10% result in serious trauma to the head and musculoskeletal system. Falls of people who underwent THR are sometimes connected with periprosthetic fractures, which treatment is much more complicated and is associated with a higher risk of failure than treatment of ordinary fractures of the lower limb. What may even worsen the situation is that elderly people very often suffer from many diseases including osteoporosis or neoplasm which increase the risk of fracture. The rate of falls is even higher among patients hospitalised from hip fractures. In the first month after returning home about 14% of patients fall. During the 6 month period after hospitalisation it reaches 53%. So far, the influence of heterotopic ossifications on the risk of falls is unknown in the literature.
