Abstract:

Next to age, obesity is one of the main predictors of the development of osteoarthritis. The link between obesity and osteoarthritis is a multi-unit. Definitely it was considered that excess weight leads to wear and tear seam. In fact, excessive load leads to cartilage degradation and subchondral bone shows that weight plays an important role in the initiation and development of osteoarthritis. However, the weight is correlated with obesity, osteoarthritis no weight-bearing joints.

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis is the most widespread musculoskeletal disease worldwide among the elderly. It causes joint pain that can affect locomotion and reduce mobility. For osteoarthritis patients, maintaining walking ability is considered the most beneficial way to preserve their quality of life. Walking sticks are widely used by elderly adults and have been shown to have a supportive role on locomotion. In this thesis I carried out four experiments: The first study investigated how footwear affects the locomotion of elderly patients suffering from this disease. In the second chapter the gait of elder

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease frequently affecting the knee. The cause of OA remains unclear. It is known that mechanical loading is a key contributing factor to the initiation and progression of knee OA. The overall aim of this work was to investigate mechanical loading at the knee in terms of external moments, muscle co-ordination, muscle forces and knee contact forces (KCF) during gait in Non-pathological subjects (NP), subjects with medial knee OA listed for high tibial osteotomy surgery (pre-HTO), and subjects with late-stage OA listed for total knee replacem

Introduction: Arthroscopic partial resection of degenerative meniscal injuries has previously been frequently performed but has been questioned in recent years. However, contradictory data exist. Aim: We aimed to asses patient- reported outcome in patients over 40 years of age after arthroscopic surgery due to degenerative meniscal injury. We further aimed to compare women and men due to diagnosis and to examine the number of patients that have needed knee arthroplasty during the follow-up period. Methods: Patients > 40 years of age who underwent arthroscopic surgery of the knee in the year

Abstract:

This research aimed to differentiate neuropathic and inflammatory pain among osteoarthritis participants. Osteoarthritis participants were evaluated using self-report pain and function questionnaires, sensory and pain measures, proprioceptive function, MRI and biomarkers. Results indicated osteoarthritis participants had significant sensory deficit. 48% of participants were categorised as having neuropathic pain. A number of key measures were identified that can assist in diagnosing neuropathic pain. This information will be helpful in more effectively managing pain in osteoarthritis.

Abstract:

The common tasks the treatment of patients with OA are to prevent progression of degenerative processes in the articular cartilage; reducing pain and symptoms of reactive synovitis; improved joint function. The success of treatment depends not only on the course of medication, but also from the patient. Therefore, the main task of a comprehensive rehabilitation in the first stage is patient education. The successful interaction between the doctor and the patient, their mutual trust depends the results of treatment.

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by pain, and problems with activities of daily life, especially if the hip or knee joint is affected. The aim of this project was to study associations between strength, voluntary activation and functioning in elderly patients with OA. People with OA of the knee often have lower muscle strength, but also a lower ability to voluntarily activate their knee extensors. In Chapter 2 we investigated the effects of relatively low stimulation currents on the assessment of VA of the knee extensor muscles. We concluded that by using submaximal muscle stimulation over

Specification of the item content was achieved through face-to-face interview of 100 patients with hip and/or knee OA. The resulting test index was composed of five subscales.

Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that is characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage. Over 80% of people over the age of 60 show radiographic evidence of OA. Rheology of synovial fluid is of interest because of its significance in the joint lubrication. However, there are still many questions related to synovial fluid rheology and its relation with OA. Although viscosupplementation has been used as a treatment for OA for many years, its clinical effect remains controversial. Therefore, the purposes of this pilot study were to determine rheological behavior of synov
