To investigate the longitudinal relationship between physical performance (via real-life accelerometry) and physical capacity (laboratory measurement of gait speed) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and to derive accelerometry measured thresholds associated with gait speed decline in KOA that may provide targets for disease-specific physical activity guidelines. DesignLongitudinal data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) accelerometer … Continue reading Physical #activity thresholds for predicting longitudinal gait decline in adults with knee #osteoarthritis

Total knee replacement (TKR) is an effective and cost-effective strategy for treating end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Greater risk for complications among TKR recipients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 kg/m2 or greater has raised concerns about the value of TKR in this population. Objective: To assess the value of TKR in recipients with a … Continue reading The Value of Total #Knee Replacement in Patients With Knee #Osteoarthritis and a Body Mass Index of 40 kg/m2 or Greater A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
Scalable delivery models of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), an effective treatment, are needed for widespread implementation, particularly in rural and underserved populations lacking ready access to insomnia treatment. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of telephone CBT-I vs education-only control (EOC) in older adults with moderate to severe osteoarthritis pain. Design, Setting, and Participants … Continue reading Effect of Telephone #Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in Older Adults With #Osteoarthritis Pain
Thigh muscle weakness is associated with knee discomfort and osteoarthritis disease progression. Little is known about the efficacy of high-intensity strength training in patients with knee osteoarthritis or whether it may worsen knee symptoms. Objective To determine whether high-intensity strength training reduces knee pain and knee joint compressive forces more than low-intensity strength training and … Continue reading Effect of High-Intensity Strength #Training on #Knee Pain and Knee Joint Compressive Forces Among Adults With Knee #Osteoarthritis
