Hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) are increasingly common with a significant impact on individuals society. Non-pharmacological treatments considered essential to reduce pain improve function quality of life. EULAR recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management hip OA were published in 2013. Given large number subsequent studies, an update is needed.
To improve quality of care for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), a structured model integrated OA was developed based on international recommendations. The objective this study to assess the effectiveness in primary care.We conducted cluster-randomised controlled trial stepped-wedge cohort design 6 Norwegian municipalities (clusters) between January 2015 October 2017. randomised order concealed clusters until time crossover from control intervention phase. implementation SAMBA...
A cross-sectional study with a test-retest design.To assess measurement properties of the physical fitness questionnaire, 6-minute walk test, stair hand-grip 30-second sit-to-stand and fingertip-to-floor test in patients various musculoskeletal conditions (MSCs).Patients suffering from MSCs tend to be more deconditioned less physically active than healthy people. Physiotherapists should, therefore, focus on health-related addition their patients' specific offer optimal treatment. To enable...
Abstract Background To address the well-documented gap between hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment recommendations current clinical practice, a structured model for integrated OA care was developed evaluated in stepped-wedge cluster-randomised controlled trial. The study used secondary outcomes to evaluate clinically important response through Outcome Measures Rheumatology Clinical Trials responder criteria (OMERACT-OARSI criteria) after 3 6 months patients receiving vs. usual care....
Previous research indicates that people with osteoarthritis (OA) are not receiving the recommended and optimal treatment. Based on international treatment recommendations for hip knee OA previous research, SAMBA model integrated care in Norwegian primary health has been developed. The includes physiotherapist (PT) led patient education sessions an exercise programme lasting 8–12 weeks. This study aims to assess effectiveness, feasibility, costs of a tailored strategy implement model. A...
To assess the quality of care, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness over 12 months after implementing a structured model care for hip knee osteoarthritis (OA) in primary healthcare as compared to usual care.
<h3>Background</h3> The existing EULAR Recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) were published in 2013. A considerable number new studies on various treatment modalities have been since then. Hence, it is time to update OA. <h3>Objectives</h3> objective this project was perform an updated systematic literature review 2013 osteoarthritis, accordingly. <h3>Methods</h3> standardised operating procedures EULAR-endorsed <sup>[1]</sup> used as...
Background Work burden increases for physiotherapists in the primary health care sector as prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) increases. Digital technologies (DHTs) are proposed a viable solution to secure sustainability system and have shown promising results range conditions. However, little is known about use DHTs among Norway. Objective This study aimed investigate attitudes toward treating patients with MSDs care, potential facilitators or barriers adopting clinical...
Introduction Soaring prevalence of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) inflicts high costs on the healthcare system. A further rise in OA incidence is expected, generating increased demand care potentially challenging accessibility threatening to overwhelm Innovative solutions that may improve recommended for patients primary maintain sustainability are warranted. Digitalising home exercise therapy be one such solution. The aim this study evaluate effectiveness a mobile health app providing...

Background: To improve quality of care for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), a structured model integrated OA was developed implemented among general practitioners (GPs) physiotherapists (PTs) in primary care. The based on international treatment recommendations. After 6 months, patient-reported satisfaction were greater, more referred to physiotherapy fewer orthopaedic surgeon, fulfilled physical activity criteria receiving the new compared usual control group 1 .
