Conclusion: Knee OA is highly prevalent in patients with T2DM, highlighting the importance of investigating the presence of knee OA in each patient with T2DM. The association of knee OA with patient age and duration of T2DM indicates the need for early intervent...
The values of patient's VAS were not influenced by the presence of hand or knee OA suggesting that these types of OA do not influence the patients' perception of the disease activity. Moreover, the values of ultrasound scores were not influenced by the presence of OA. References Aletaha D...
Conclusion:Biopsychosocial rehabilitation produces a significant but clinically small beneficial effect on patient-reported pain among patients with inflammatory arthritis and OA, with no difference in harm. Methodologic weaknesses were observed in the included trials, suggesting low-to-moderate confidence in...
Self-reported measures were pain, other symptoms, activities of daily living (ADL), and quality of life assessed by Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire (3), Patient Global Impression of Change Scale (PGICS). Results Final sample included 32 adults (age: 67.8±5.3...
Furthermore, there was an observed improvement in the Patient Global Assessment (PGA) from the first measurement to the five-year time point. The knee that exhibited superior condition at the initial stage but did not get mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) treatment saw ongoing deterioration over five ...
Currently, there is insufficient evidence to suggest one form of exercise over another and it is important to take into consideration the patient’s preference and accessibility to a given form of exercise, which are key in their adherence to the prescribed physical activity regimen. Last but not...
