Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common cause of pain and disability. Patients often complain that they overload the other limb when they walk, resulting in disease in the unaffected knee. However, it is unknown whether this happens or the mechanism by which it occurs. Data was analysed from an established longitudinal cohort study to examine the development of bilateral knee OA.

Neuromuscular exercise as treatment for knee osteoarthritis in middle aged patients Research Unit for Musculoskeletal Function and Physiotherapy Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics University of Southern Denmark, Denmark Brian Clausen PhD Thesis 2016.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the world, and it has been estimated that about one tenth of the world’s population, aged over 60, have symptoms that can be attributed to OA. Despite the size of the global impact of OA, there is a significant unmet need for effective.

Whilst end-stage osteoarthritis is treated reliably with knee replacement surgery, such surgery is not routinely offered to those with less severe OA as it is associated with a poorer outcome. These patients are said to be in a 'treatment gap' and they are the primary focus of this thesis.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by pain, articular cartilage deterioration, joint space narrowing and reduced muscle strength. Approximately 60 million Americans have knee OA and this number will increase by 50% over the next decade. 1 Knee pain during movement due to OA is a strong predictor of an increased need for functional assistance, 2 and is the second leading cause of.

Identifying knee osteoarthritis. Classification, early recognition and imaging. (free PhD thesis) Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and disabling joint disease. It is one of the most frequently occurring health problems for middle-aged and older people. OA can occur in every synovial joint, but is most common in hip, knee, hand, foot and.

Biomechanics of knee osteoarthritis during stair negotiation: mechanisms and intervention strategies Katerina Doslikova A doctoral thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Manchester Metropolitan University and the degree of Doctor in Biomedical Sciences at the KU Leuven.

The purpose of this observational study is to determine the effect of knee osteoarthritis and pain type on the knee joint position sense (JPS) and quantitative sensory testing (QST). This research involves data collection from three sub-groups: knee OA participant with nociceptive pain, knee OA participant with neuropathic like pain and age-matched control groups. The ability to clinically.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common and prevalent chronic joint disorder in older adults, characterized by progressive deterioration of joint structures. It affects not only the articular cartilage and subchondral bone but also other structures of the joint, such as menisci, synovial membrane, joint capsule, ligaments, muscles and infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP).
