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.

Prehabilitation for Total Knee or Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: In this article , the authors systematically review the evidence on the benefits and harms of prehabilitation interventions for patients who are scheduled to undergo elective, unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKAR) surgery for the treatment of primary osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Narrative Review on Measurement Properties of Fixed-distance Walk Tests Up to 40 Meters for Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: Clinicians and researchers can select a testing protocol that can safely and consistently be performed over time, as well as provide a practice trial to acclimatize the patients to the fixed-distance walk test.

Physical Performance Correlates with Self-Reported Physical Function and Quality of Life in Patients at 3 Months after Total Knee Arthroplasty.

TL;DR: Physical performance factors were significantly associated with self-reported physical function and QoL in patients at 3 months after unilateral TKA, suggesting that performance-based physical function could be used to assess outcomes after TKA.

Pragmatic Home-Based Exercise after Total Hip Arthroplasty - Silkeborg: Protocol for a prospective cohort study (PHETHAS-1)

TL;DR: The preliminary efficacy of home-based rehabilitation using elastic band exercise on performance-based function after THA is indicated, based on the relationship between the performed exercise dose and the change in performance- based function (gait speed) from 3 to 10 weeks postoperatively.

Contemporary Non-Surgical Considerations in the Management of People with Extra- and Intra-Articular Hip Pathologies

TL;DR: A number of biomechanical and neuromuscular impairment are associated with Femoracetabular impingement, gluteal tendinopathy and hip osteoarthritis conditions including but not limited to muscle weakness, altered postural control, restricted range of motion and altered tendon/joint loading.

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.
