Knee joint moment changes and the relationship to radiological severity and body weight following a structured education and exercise therapy intervention for knee osteoarthritis
Background
Evidence links knee joint loads to knee osteoarthritis progression, making load reduction a target for non-surgical interventions. Exercise therapy does not appear to reduce knee joint moments, but studies focus on the medial compartment, overlook severity in other compartments and the influence of body weight, and do not assess more demanding tasks. This study evaluated whether knee adduction and knee flexion moments decrease following exercise therapy. We examined the extent to which knee joint moments change during a more demanding task, chair-rise, and the influence of body weight and osteoarthritis compartment severity.
Methods
Thirty-one participants with knee osteoarthritis underwent three-dimensional biomechanical analysis during walking and chair rises at baseline and week-8 after the Good Life with OsteoArthritis in Denmark intervention. Multilevel models estimated knee adduction and knee flexion moments and their relationships with osteoarthritis compartment severity and body weight.
Findings
Both knee adduction and knee flexion moments reduced during chair-rise after the intervention. The first peak knee adduction moment increased slightly by 3 % from 41.7 Nm (90 % CrI 37.0, 46.5) to 43.0 Nm (38.5, 47.5) during walking, regardless of osteoarthritis compartment severity. Greater lateral and patellofemoral compartment severity was related to larger knee flexion moment reductions during walking and chair-rises. Weak relationships were found between body weight and knee adduction and knee flexion moments for both tasks. Following the intervention, heavier people had larger increases during walking, but this was uncertain.
Interpretation
Intervention had minimal impact on the knee adduction moment during walking, regardless of compartment severity. Reductions in knee joint moments were observed during chair-rises. Changes in joint load following exercise therapy may be more apparent during demanding tasks. The relationship between knee flexion moment and joint load during demanding tasks warrants further investigation.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
