Filter by:The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of transitional care in patients with total knee arthroplasty on patients' functional status, perceived self-efficacy, and health care use. Based on the sampling inclusion criteria, we assigned the patients who would undergo knee arthroplasty to the control (n=35) and intervention (n=35) groups, via the block randomization method. The intervention group received transitional care, while the control group received usual care. Data were collected on post-intervention functional status, level of self-efficacy, and hospital visits outside of routine control.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between central sensitization (CS) and poor response to conventional physical therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) by evaluating clinical parameters of pain and functionality. 84 knee OA patients with knee pain for at least 3 months and 30 healthy controls were included in the study. Socio-demographic features of the participants such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and duration of symptoms were recorded. Structural damage was assessed by knee radiography. Knee pain and functional status were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) at baseline and immediately after the treatment. Additionally, the following measures were applied at baseline: Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pain Catastrophization Scale (PCS), and PainDETECT Questionnaire (PD-Q). Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured with a digital algometer at the painful joint, near the joint area, and in a painless remote region. Patients with knee OA underwent a total of 15 sessions of conventional physical therapy program including hotpack, ultrasound (US), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and exercise 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. The control group had no treatment except for the PPT measurement to obtain the reference PPT values. After the treatment, the patients were divided into two groups as 'responders' and 'non-responders' according to their response to treatment. The relationship between the response to physical therapy and clinical parameters was evaluated.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, affecting more than 25% of the population . Knee OA is an insidious disease related to structural changes in the joint over many years. Progressive articular damage results in a loss of the extracellular matrix of cartilage in addition to changes in subchondral bone. Duloxetine, a selective serotonin, and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, it seems to be effective in treating neuropathic and chronic pain conditions.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of great morbidity in which therapies are typically palliative and only alleviate pain Mesenchymal stem cells ,adipose derived stromal cell are possible new chondroprotective regenerative treatment modalities. Clinical Effectiveness after administration of adipose derived stromal cells along with platelet rich plasma was investigated in 140 patients having moderate to severe knee (stage 3 and 4) Patients were evaluated and followed up for 2 year by subjective WOMAC score,six minute walking distance ,need of rescue medication Radiographic and MRI evaluation of joint space and cartilage thickness respectively
To investigate effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) on pain reduction in knee osteoarthritis
A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Collavant n2 in individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee.
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.
Aim To investigate associations between within-person change in patient reported outcomes (PROMs) and wish for joint surgery during up to 12-month participation in a digital first-line intervention for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) comprising exercise and education. Methods Retrospective observational registry data. All participants enrolling between June 1st 2018 and September 30th 2021 with follow-up data and with a change in their wish for surgery (dichotomous, becoming wishing or unwishing) were included. Analysed PROMS comprised pain (numeric rating scale (NRS), 0-10), 5 level EuroQol - 5-dimension (EQ5D-5L, 0.243-0.976), overall health (NRS, 0-10), activity impairment (NRS, 0-10), walking difficulties (yes/no), fear of movement (yes/no), function and quality of life subscales of Knee/Hip injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score 12 Items (KOOS-12/HOOS-12, both 0-100). To capture effects of changes in PROMs over time on probability of wish for surgery, the investigators used fixed effect (conditional) logistic regressions.
