Clinical effectiveness and safety of a distraction-rotation knee brace for medial knee osteoarthritis

2015

Abstract Objective Evaluation of the clinical effectiveness and safety of a new custom-made valgus knee brace (OdrA) in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) in terms of pain and secondary symptoms. Methods Open-label prospective study of patients with symptomatic medial knee OA with clinical evaluation at 6 and 52 weeks (W6, W52). We systematically assessed pain on a visual analog scale (VAS), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), spatio-temporal gait variables, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesic-sparing effects of the brace and tolerance. Mean scores were compared at baseline, W6 and W52 and the effect size (ES) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI…

Biomechanical effectiveness of a distraction-rotation knee brace in medial knee osteoarthritis: preliminary results.

2013

Abstract Background Non-pharmacological therapies are recommended for the care of knee osteoarthritis patients. Unloader knee braces provide an interesting functional approach, which aims to modulate mechanical stress on the symptomatic joint compartment. We aimed to confirm the biomechanical effects and evaluate functional benefits of a new knee brace that combines a valgus effect with knee and tibial external rotation during gait in medial osteoarthritis patients. Methods Twenty patients with unilateral symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis were included and they performed two test sessions of 3D gait analysis with and without the brace at the initial evaluation (W0) and after 5weeks (W5…

Tocilizumab induces corticosteroid sparing in rheumatoid arthritis patients in clinical practice

2015

International audience; Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of introducing tocilizumab (TCZ) as co-therapy with CS in patients with RA.Methods. This study was an open, observational, retrospective multicentre study. RA patients treated with oral CS for >3 months who started treatment with TCZ between December 2009 and June 2011 in five centres were included. Variables included demographic data, disease history, co-treatments, disease activity and dose of CS at inclusion and at weeks 4, 8, 12 and 24. The evolution of disease activity and of the dose of CS (analysis of variance with repeated measures) were analysed, searching for factors correlated with changes in the …
