OARSI recommended performance-based tests to assess physical function in people diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis

TLDR
The OARSI recommended set of performance-based tests of physical function represents the tests of typical activities relevant to individuals diagnosed with hip or knee OA and following joint replacements and are complementary to patient-reported measures.

Clinic-Based Patellar Mobilization Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

TL;DR: Patellar mobilization therapy has the potential to reduce pain and improve function and quality of life for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentric and Eccentric Resistance Training Comparison on Physical Function and Functional Pain Outcomes in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

TL;DR: Either resistance exercise type improves activity-related knee osteoarthritis pain, but concentrically focused resistance training more effectively reduced severity of ambulatory pain and pain upon walking cessation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Diet Control and Telemedicine-Based Resistance Exercise Intervention on Patients with Obesity and Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Control Trial

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of home-based nutritional and telemedicine-based resistance exercise interventions on improving body composition, blood biochemistry, and lower-limb functional performance were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship Between Pedometer-Based Physical Activity and Physical Function in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Cross-Sectional Study.

TL;DR: Although increased ambulatory PA had a positive relationship with better physical function, walking <2500 steps/d may be a simple indicator for a decrease in physical function in patients with knee OA among standard PA categories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immediate effects of Mulligan's techniques on pain and functional mobility in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: A randomized control trial.

TL;DR: Mulligan's techniques were effective in improving pain and functional mobility in individuals with knee osteoarthritis, and the underlying mechanisms for observed effects must be examined further.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons

TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

TL;DR: The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has been revised to recognize that the concept of disability resides largely in the sociocultural domain of the authors' lives rather than being an attribute of the individual.

Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults using the Timed Up & Go Test.

TL;DR: The TUG is a sensitive and specific measure for identifying community-dwelling adults who are at risk for falls and the ability to predict falls is not enhanced by adding a secondary task when performing the TUG.

Comfortable and maximum walking speed of adults aged 20—79 years: reference values and determinants

TL;DR: Gait speed can be expected to be reduced in individuals of greater age and of lesser height and lower extremity muscle strength and normative values should give clinicians a reference against which patient performance can be compared in a variety of settings.

A 30-s chair-stand test as a measure of lower body strength in community-residing older adults

TL;DR: It was concluded that the 30-s chair stand provides a reasonably reliable and valid indicator of lower body strength in generally active, community-dwelling older adults.
