Unloading Shoes for Self-management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Trial.
Rana S Hinman,Tim V. Wrigley,Ben R Metcalf,Penny K Campbell,Kade L. Paterson,David J. Hunter,Jessica Kasza,Andrew Forbes,Kim L Bennell +8 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of unloading walking shoes in alleviating knee osteoarthritis symptoms and to hypothesized that unloading shoes would reduce pain and improve physical function after 6 months compared with conventional walking shoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of a multimodal physiotherapy treatment program for hip osteoarthritis: a randomised placebo-controlled trial protocol
Kim L Bennell,Thorlene Egerton,Yong-Hao Pua,J. Haxby Abbott,Kevin Sims,Ben R Metcalf,Fiona McManus,Tim V. Wrigley,Andrew Forbes,Anthony Harris,Rachelle Buchbinder +10 more
TL;DR: A randomised controlled trial to compare the efficacy of a physiotherapy treatment program with placebo treatment in reducing pain and improving physical function for painful hip OA.
Journal ArticleDOI
A physiotherapist-delivered integrated exercise and pain coping skills training intervention for individuals with knee osteoarthritis: a randomised controlled trial protocol.
Kim L Bennell,Yasmin Ahamed,Christina Bryant,Gwendolen Jull,Michael A. Hunt,Justin Kenardy,Andrew Forbes,Anthony Harris,Michael K. Nicholas,Ben R Metcalf,Thorlene Egerton,Francis J. Keefe +11 more
TL;DR: This multisite randomised controlled trial is to investigate whether an integrated 12-week PCST and exercise treatment program delivered by physiotherapists is more efficacious than either program alone in treating pain and physical function in individuals with knee OA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma as a symptom- and disease-modifying treatment for knee osteoarthritis - the RESTORE trial protocol.
Kade L. Paterson,David J. Hunter,Ben R Metcalf,Jillian P Eyles,Vicky Duong,Jessica Kazsa,Yuanyuan Wang,Rachelle Buchbinder,Flavia M. Cicuttini,Andrew Forbes,Anthony Harris,Shirley P. Yu,Bing Hui Wang,David Connell,James M. Linklater,Kim L Bennell +15 more
TL;DR: This clinical trial is to determine whether a series of injections of PRP into the knee joint will lead to a significantly greater reduction in knee pain, and less loss of medial tibial cartilage volume over 12 months when compared to aseries of placebo saline injections in people with knee OA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do Moments and Strength Predict Cartilage Changes after Partial Meniscectomy
Michelle Hall,Tim V. Wrigley,Ben R Metcalf,Flavia M. Cicuttini,Yuanyuan Wang,Rana S Hinman,Alasdair R. Dempsey,Peter Mills,David Lloyd,Kim L Bennell +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the association between external knee joint moments and quadriceps strength and 2-yr change in indices of cartilage integrity in the medial tibiofemoral compartment and patella.
