The primary outcome measures were change at 3, 6, and 12 months after randomisation in the pain and physical function subscale scores of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC).8 The psychometric properties of the WOMAC have been extensively studied in populations w...
It has been theorized that high-frequency chest compression devices are particularly effective in clearing the abnormal secretions of CF because vibratory shear forces facilitate expectoration by reducing the viscosity of these secretions, much in the same way that shaking jello causes it to become flui...

The primary outcomes are pain and function as measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis index. A comprehensive range of secondary outcomes are also included. Outcomes are measured at 3, 6 (primary outcome time-point), 9, 18 and 36 months. Data on adverse events will also be...
The difference between the two differently reported points on the scale by an individual at different points of time, reflected the real variation in pain magnitude [34,35,36]. The modified Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index was utilized to assess functional ...
