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.

Exercise in osteoarthritis: Moving from prescription to adherence

TL;DR: It is important to note that while the magnitude of exercise benefits may be considered small to moderate, these effects are comparable to reported estimates for simple analgesics and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for OA pain but exercise has much fewer side effects.

Functional Fitness Normative Scores for Community-Residing Older Adults, Ages 60-94

Abstract: This article describes a nationwide study conducted to develop normative performance data for community-residing older adults. The physical parameters assessed are strength, aerobic endurance, flexibility, and agility/balance. Body mass index was also assessed as an estimate of body composition. The sample comprised 7,183 participants from 267 sites in 21 states. Summary data (M, SD, and percentiles) are reported separately for men and women in 5-year age groups. Results reveal a pattern of decline across most age groups on all variables. ANOVA and post hoc comparisons indicated a significant main effect for age on all variables and that most 5-year age-group declines were significant (p < .007). ANOVAs also revealed a significant main effect for gender on all test items (p < .0001): Men scored better on strength, aerobic endurance, and agility/balance; women scored better on flexibility. The data provide information about normal variations within and usual rates of change across age groups, and they prov...

Assessing stability and change of four performance measures: a longitudinal study evaluating outcome following total hip and knee arthroplasty

TL;DR: The test-retest estimates of the 6MWT, ST, and the SPWT met the requisite standards for making decisions at the individual patient level and were responsive to detecting deterioration and improvement in the early postoperative period.

Measures of physical performance assessments: Self-Paced Walk Test (SPWT), Stair Climb Test (SCT), Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Chair Stand Test (CST), Timed Up & Go (TUG), Sock Test, Lift and Carry Test (LCT), and Car Task.

TL;DR: Clinician-observed measures of physical function that assess a task that can be classified as “activities” using the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model are evaluated.

The 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis: Phase 2 methodological report

TL;DR: The expert panel agreed that the new classification criteria should be applied to individuals with undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis in whom at least 1 joint is deemed by an expert assessor to be swollen, indicating definite synovitis.

Measuring Functional Improvement after Total Knee Arthroplasty Requires both Performance-Based and Patient-Report Assessments: A Longitudinal Analysis of Outcomes

TL;DR: This paper explored the responsiveness of both patient-report and performance-based outcome measures to determine functional changes during the acute and long-term post-operative recovery after total knee arthroplasty.
