Download or read book In Older Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis Do Hip Strength and Range of Motion Impairments Affect Activity Limitations written by Elizabeth Arpin and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease involving the loss of articular cartilage from the joints, with knee OA being the most commonly affected joint. It is necessary to explore hip range of motion and strength in patients with knee OA, as they may be prognostic factors for activity limitations. The purpose of this review was to better understand the role of hip strength and range of motion impairments in activity limitations in patients with knee OA. Method: A comprehensive search of Medline Complete, CINAHL, Cochrane, and PubMed was conducted to find articles that examined the clinical question starting in October 2016. Each article was appraised for quality by 2 authors, according to pre-established appraisal checklists created for each study design. Results: The search resulted in 107 hits. After reading titles and abstracts and applying set inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7 articles were used to answer the clinical question. This included 1 systematic review of prognostic studies, 2 randomized clinical trial, 1 non-randomized clinical trial, 1 cross-sectional cohort study, 1 cohort study, and 1 prognostic study. Discussion/Conclusion: Based on the available evidence, decreased hip strength and range of motion are predictors for increased activity limitations in patients with knee OA. The clinical decision to implement a comprehensive treatment plan including hip strengthening and range of motion exercises is suggested for this patient to address and modify risk factors associated with increased activity limitations. However, further research is necessary to standardize baseline characteristics and understand the most beneficial intervention protocol.

Download or read book Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide disability benefits: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. SSDI provides disability benefits to people (under the full retirement age) who are no longer able to work because of a disabling medical condition. SSI provides income assistance for disabled, blind, and aged people who have limited income and resources regardless of their prior participation in the labor force. Both programs share a common disability determination process administered by SSA and state agencies as well as a common definition of disability for adults: "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." Disabled workers might receive either SSDI benefits or SSI payments, or both, depending on their recent work history and current income and assets. Disabled workers might also receive benefits from other public programs such as workers' compensation, which insures against work-related illness or injuries occurring on the job, but those other programs have their own definitions and eligibility criteria. Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment identifies and defines the professionally accepted, standard measurements of outcomes improvement for medical conditions. This report also identifies specific, long-lasting medical conditions for adults in the categories of mental health disorders, cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders. Specifically, these conditions are disabling for a length of time, but typically don't result in permanently disabling limitations; are responsive to treatment; and after a specific length of time of treatment, improve to the point at which the conditions are no longer disabling.
Download or read book Physical Therapy Interventions for Knee Pain Secondary to Osteoarthritis written by U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OBJECTIVES: To assess the association between intermediate and patient-centered outcomes and harms with physical therapy interventions in community-dwelling adults with chronic knee pain secondary to osteoarthritis and to examine validity and minimum clinically important differences of the tools for outcome measurement. DATA SOURCES: We searched major electronic bibliographic databases including MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and Allied and Complementary Medicine and trial registries up to February 29, 2012. REVIEW METHODS: We performed a systematic review of randomized and nonrandomized studies published in English to synthesize rates or means of measured pain, function, and quality of life with physical therapy interventions. Observational studies provided evidence of the association between changes in knee joint functional tests and patient-centered outcomes and minimum clinically important differences in validated tools for outcome measures. We performed meta-analyses of standardized mean differences using random effects models to synthesize the evidence. RESULTS: Of 4,266 retrieved references, 154 eligible references examined the association between patient-centered and intermediate outcomes and 422 eligible references examined physical therapy interventions. Of these, 193 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported on knee pain, disability, quality of life, and functional outcomes after physical therapy interventions. Pooling criteria were met by 84 RCTs that provided evidence for 12 physical therapy interventions on pain (n = 58), physical function (n = 36), and disability (n = 29). Most studies reported physical therapy effects at followups of 3 months or less. Evidence on longer-term physical therapy effects was available for seven intervention-outcome pairs. Meta-analyses at the longest time of followup provided low-strength evidence that aerobic (n = 11) and aquatic exercise (n = 3) improved disability; aerobic exercise (n = 19), strengthening exercise (n = 17), and ultrasound (n = 6) reduced pain and improved function. Six of 11 individual RCTs demonstrated clinically important improvements in pain and disability with aerobic exercise. Pain relief was consistent in RCTs that reported physical therapist supervision of aerobic exercise. Diathermy, orthotics, and magnetic stimulation demonstrated no benefit. Limited direct comparative effectiveness evidence demonstrated similar benefits in disability measures with aerobic, aquatic, and strengthening exercise. Evidence from individual RCTs did not permit robust conclusions about which physical therapy interventions are most effective or whether differences in effect could be attributed to patient characteristics. Patients with high compliance to exercise tended to have better treatment responses. We found no association between the duration of examined interventions and better intermediate or patient-centered outcomes. Adverse events were uncommon and not severe enough to deter participants from continuing treatment. Gait, mobility restrictions, muscle strength, and range-of-motion measures were associated with disability measures in individual studies. Minimum clinically important differences in scales were determined for 26 tools but have not been used in RCTs to examine the clinical importance of improvements. The definition of the Patient Acceptable Symptom State that accounts for patient satisfaction was available for the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the Visual Analog Scale for Pain, and the Patient Global Assessment Scale. CONCLUSIONS: Low-strength evidence suggested that core physical therapy interventions, including aerobic, aquatic, strengthening, and proprioception exercise, improved patient outcomes. Risk of bias in studies and heterogeneity in populations and physical therapy interventions downgraded the strength of evidence to low or moderate in most cases. Studies focused on a single modality of physical therapy rather than the combinations typically used in practice. Benefits with physical therapy interventions were not consistently evaluated according to the clinical importance of improvement in scales and tests. Adverse events were uncommon and not severe enough to deter participants from continuing treatment. Evidence about long-term adherence to and benefits of available physical therapy interventions is lacking.
Download or read book Early Osteoarthritis written by Christian Lattermann and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-09 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early osteoarthritis is novel topic for orthopedic surgeons and its process begins immediately after joint injury. The mechanical restoration of the joint surface or ligamentous stability is not sufficient to restore the homeostatic environment in the joint, and this leads to osteoarthritis, despite mechanical stability and alignment. This book sheds light on the various mechanisms and systems involved in the gradual decline of the injured joint toward manifest osteoarthritis. Published in collaboration with ISAKOS, this volume appeals to all stakeholders in surgical orthopaedics and sports medicine.

Download or read book A Strategic Approach to Knee Arthritis Treatment written by Seung-Suk Seo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest knowledge on all aspects of osteoarthritis of the knee. Beyond offering a thorough evidence-based review of the available treatment options, it provides helpful information on such fundamental aspects as anatomy, biomechanics, biochemistry, etiology, pathogenesis, and radiologic assessment. The treatment-oriented chapters cover non-pharmacologic treatment, drug treatment, intra-articular drug and/or cell-based injection therapy, arthroscopic treatment, osteotomy, and joint replacement surgery. The goal is to equip the reader with a sound understanding of both the condition itself and the appropriate treatment strategy in different situations. The importance of taking into account factors such as the degree of arthritis, patient activity, lifestyle, and pain when formulating that strategy is emphasized. The fact that the book extends well beyond the description of surgical treatments means that it will be an excellent source of information and guidance for general clinicians as well as for those who specialize in the management of musculoskeletal disorders.
Download or read book Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy written by Lucas G. Chase and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop stem cell-based therapies for difficult to treat diseases. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, also referred to as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), appear to hold great promise in regards to a regenerative cell-based therapy for the treatment of these diseases. Currently, more than 200 clinical trials are underway worldwide exploring the use of MSCs for the treatment of a wide range of disorders including bone, cartilage and tendon damage, myocardial infarction, graft-versus-host disease, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, critical limb ischemia and many others. MSCs were first identified by Friendenstein and colleagues as an adherent stromal cell population within the bone marrow with the ability to form clonogenic colonies in vitro. In regards to the basic biology associated with MSCs, there has been tremendous progress towards understanding this cell population’s phenotype and function from a range of tissue sources. Despite enormous progress and an overall increased understanding of MSCs at the molecular and cellular level, several critical questions remain to be answered in regards to the use of these cells in therapeutic applications. Clinically, both autologous and allogenic approaches for the transplantation of MSCs are being explored. Several of the processing steps needed for the clinical application of MSCs, including isolation from various tissues, scalable in vitro expansion, cell banking, dose preparation, quality control parameters, delivery methods and numerous others are being extensively studied. Despite a significant number of ongoing clinical trials, none of the current therapeutic approaches have, at this point, become a standard of care treatment. Although exceptionally promising, the clinical translation of MSC-based therapies is still a work in progress. The extensive number of ongoing clinical trials is expected to provide a clearer path forward for the realization and implementation of MSCs in regenerative medicine. Towards this end, reviews of current clinical trial results and discussions of relevant topics association with the clinical application of MSCs are compiled in this book from some of the leading researchers in this exciting and rapidly advancing field. Although not absolutely all-inclusive, we hope the chapters within this book can promote and enable a better understanding of the translation of MSCs from bench-to-bedside and inspire researchers to further explore this promising and quickly evolving field.
