Comparative efficacy of #Tai Chi versus #balance training on functional performance and #postural control during sit and stand transitions in individuals with #knee #osteoarthritis: A randomized trial
Objectives: This study evaluates the efficacy of Tai Chi versus balance training on functional performance and postural control during sit and stand transitions in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.Design: Single-blind randomized trial.Methods: Sixty-nine patients with knee osteoarthritis were assigned to Tai Chi (n = 35) or balance training (n = 34) for 12 weeks. Assessments were… Continue reading Comparative efficacy of #Tai Chi versus #balance training on functional performance and #postural control during sit and stand transitions in individuals with #knee #osteoarthritis: A randomized trial
LBA 06 – Clinical Effectiveness of Single Course Low-Dose #Radiation Therapy in #Knee #Osteoarthritis: Short-term Results from the Randomized, Sham-Controlled Trial
Low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) has been historically used as a non-pharmacologic option for osteoarthritis (OA), but solid evidence from randomized trials is still limited.Materials/Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled trial, 114 patients with knee OA were allocated to receive sham irradiation, total 0.3 Gy/6 fractions, or total 3 Gy/6 fractions. The main inclusion criteria are… Continue reading LBA 06 – Clinical Effectiveness of Single Course Low-Dose #Radiation Therapy in #Knee #Osteoarthritis: Short-term Results from the Randomized, Sham-Controlled Trial
Personalised #gait retraining for medial compartment #knee #osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled trial
Retraining individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis to walk with a patient-specific change in their foot angle (ie, toe-in or toe-out angle) can reduce excessive joint loading related to disease progression. This study investigated the clinical, biomechanical, and structural efficacy of personalised foot progression angle modifications compared with sham treatment in patients with mild-to-moderate medial… Continue reading Personalised #gait retraining for medial compartment #knee #osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled trial
Once-Weekly #Semaglutide in Persons with #Obesity and #Knee Osteoarthritis
BackgroundWeight reduction has been shown to alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee, including pain. The effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists on outcomes in knee osteoarthritis among persons with obesity has not been well studied.MethodsWe conducted a 68-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial at 61 sites in 11 countries. Participants with obesity (a body-mass index… Continue reading Once-Weekly #Semaglutide in Persons with #Obesity and #Knee Osteoarthritis
#Dietary inflammatory index and MRI-detected #knee structural change and pain: a 10.7-year follow-up study
To determine whether the dietary inflammatory index (DII®) scores were associated with knee structural changes and pain over a 10.7-year follow-up.MethodsThis study utilised data from a prospective population-based cohort study (mean age 63 years, 51% female) in which 1,099, 875, 768 and 566 participants completed assessments at baseline, 2.6, 5.1 and 10.7 years, respectively. T1-weighted and T2-weighted… Continue reading #Dietary inflammatory index and MRI-detected #knee structural change and pain: a 10.7-year follow-up study
The effect of mindfulness and motivational interviewing along with neuromuscular exercises on pain, function, and balance of women affected by knee osteoarthritis: a rater-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing (MI) and mindfulness (MF) added to neuromuscular (NM) exercises on improving pain, function, balance, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).MethodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted on sixty patients who were randomly assigned to the MI + NM, MF + NM, and NM groups. The groups… Continue reading The effect of mindfulness and motivational interviewing along with neuromuscular exercises on pain, function, and balance of women affected by knee osteoarthritis: a rater-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial

Axial alignment is a critical regulator of knee osteoarthritis
Taking a load offOsteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by subchondral bone thickening in addition to cartilage degeneration. Here, Oláh et al. studied the role of joint alignment in OA development. Unloading the knee joint of a patient with OA with varus malalignment by high tibial osteotomy, which corrected axial malalignment, improved pain and cartilage microstructure and… Continue reading Axial alignment is a critical regulator of knee osteoarthritis
