Synopsis Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading cause of chronic pain and functional disability in the older adults worldwide. Exercise is recommended for the conservation treatment of knee OA. The present study aims at identifying the pain and functional trajectories from exercise interventions in knee OA and determining their association with the baseline factors. This week’s “MED FACT” discusses a clinical trial from Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Journal, “ Pain and functional trajectories in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis over up to 12 weeks of exercise exposure ”. Authors: A.C. Lee, W.F. Harvey, X.
Han, L.L. Price, J.B. Driban, R.R. Bannuru, C. Wang. Key Takeaways: Four distinct trajectories for pain and function over up to 12-weeks of exercise interventions were identified. Objective: Identifying the pain and functional trajectories from exercise intervention in knee OA Study…
