Knee osteoarthritis patients may become physically inactive due to pain and functional limitations. Whether physical activity exerts a protective or harmful effect depends on the frequency, intensity, time type (F.I.T.T.). The F.I.T.T. dimensions should therefore be assessed during daily life, which so far has hardly been feasible. Furthermore, within subgroups of patients, as they might experience different Therefore, this study aimed objectively describe activity, by assessing dimensions,...
It is well documented that patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) suffer from reduced physical function and of the affected improved after joint replacement (KJR). However, it remains uncertain whether KOA are less physically active than healthy people increase their level activity surgery to a comparable people. The aim this study was examine participants who have undergone KJR show an increased achieve same as 5 years postoperatively.Fifty-four (29 women; mean age 62 ± 8.6; body mass...
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a painful disease commonly caused by high loads on the articular cartilage. Orthotic interventions aim to reduce mechanical loading, thereby alleviating pain. Traditional orthotics appear effective, but drop-out rates have been reported over prolonged periods. The of this study was examine effect novel ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) gait parameters, physical function and activity KOA patients. 29 clinically diagnosed patients with varus malalignment wore an AFO for 6...
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major cause of disability and mortality worldwide. Physical inactivity is an important contributor to the development NCDs. Increasing physical activity through supervised exercise therapy (SET) proven be effective, key component in both prevention treatment most However, only minority patients with NCDs receive this treatment, mainly due insufficient number poor accessibility specialized therapists. The aim article describe solution that, if indicated,...
<h3>Background</h3> Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common form of arthritis with an estimated lifetime prevalence 44.7% (1). The use orthotic devices (knee braces, insoles, wedged shoes) a generally accepted conservative therapy for KOA patients (2). However, it suggested that their effectiveness detrimentally affected by poor patient compliance due to discomfort while wearing these (3). <h3>Objectives</h3> aim this study objectively establish intervention using thermal sensor (TS)...
