OP0062-HPR Efficacy of Tailored Exercise Therapy in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis and Comorbidity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

2016

Background Exercise therapy is a key intervention in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). It is an effective intervention to improve physical functioning and reduce joint pain in patients with knee OA. Comorbidity, which is highly prevalent in OA, interferes with the application of exercise therapy and contributes to non-adherence to exercise therapy. Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tailored exercise therapy on physical functioning in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and comorbidity Methods A randomized clinical controlled trial was performed, comparing comorbidity-adapted exercise therapy with a control intervention. The study was conducted in an outpatient r…

Efficacy of Tailored Exercise Therapy on Physical Functioning in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis and Comorbidity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

2017

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy on physical functioning and safety of tailored exercise therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and comorbidities. Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, 126 participants were included with a clinical diagnosis of knee OA and at least 1 of the following target comorbidities: coronary disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2), with severity score ≥2 on the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale. The intervention group received a 20-week, individualized, comorbidity-adapted exercise program consisting of aerobic and strength training and training of daily activities…
