Thus, to improve the physical function of patients, it is important to train not just the knee joint but also other KOA-affected joints41. The results of our study provide guidelines for KOA exercise and rehabilitation (Table 2). Pain and stiffness were most related to knee-specific ...

Bacterial seeding to the joint via haematogenous transmission is the most frequent pathophysiological process, so he looked specifically for signs of systemic toxicity suggestive of bacterial sepsis. The commonest cause of acute arthritis is reactive arthritis, and there was evidence of an upper ...
In older people, knee pain is most commonly attributed to osteoarthritis (OA), and in younger people it is often associated with internal derangements or external factors such as sporting injury3,4. Pain is a personal experience validly measured by numerical patient-reported outcome measures (...
It is now acknowledged that postural control implies multi-joint activation involving the knee, even though the ankle and hip joints are the most activated in this context, and widely studied for decades62,63. Postural joint synergy is reinforced by the fact that when the knee joint is ...
It appears that a crossed (twisted) arrangement of the fibers is most effective in rotatory movements, whereas a parallel orientation is most effective in translation. Our data further indicate that, in measuring the changes in lengths of ligaments during joint motion, one cannot neglect the ...

Of the psychological interventions that have been considered, pain management, based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most extensively researched intervention in chronic pain conditions and has the strongest evidence base. One such approach, Pain Coping Skills Training (PCST) ...
