Validity and feasibility of remote measurement systems for functional movement and posture assessments in people with axial spondylarthritis

2022

Introduction: This study aimed to estimate the criterion validity of functional movement and posture measurement using remote technology systems in people with and without Axial spondylarthritis (axSpA). Methods: Validity and agreement of the remote-technology measurement of functional movement and posture were tested cross-sectionally and compared to a standard clinical measurement by a physiotherapist. The feasibility of remote implementation was tested in a home environment. There were two cohorts of participants: people with axSpA and people without longstanding back pain. In addition, a cost-consequence analysis was performed. Results: Sixty-two participants (31 with axSPA, 53% female,…

1,1,4,4-Tetramethylpiperazinediium dibromide

2009

A small quantity of the title compound, C8H20N22+·2Br−, was formed as a by-product in a reaction between a diamine and an alkyl bromide. The asymmetric unit contains half of a centrosymmetric dication and a bromide anion. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal packing.

An Automatic Method for Assessing Spiking of Tibial Tubercles Associated with Knee Osteoarthritis

2022

Efficient and scalable early diagnostic methods for knee osteoarthritis are desired due to the disease’s prevalence. The current automatic methods for detecting osteoarthritis using plain radiographs struggle to identify the subjects with early-stage disease. Tibial spiking has been hypothesized as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Previous research has demonstrated an association between knee osteoarthritis and tibial spiking, but the connection to the early-stage disease has not been investigated. We study tibial spiking as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, we develop a deep learning based model for detecting tibial spiking from plain radiographs. We collected an…

Effects of progressive aquatic resistance training on symptoms and quality of life in women with knee osteoarthritis: A secondary analysis.

2020

Abstract Objective: To conduct a secondary analysis to study the effects, those 4 months of aquatic resistance training have on self‐assessed symptoms and quality of life in post‐menopausal women with mild knee osteoarthritis (OA), after the intervention and after a 12‐month follow‐up period. Methods: A total of 87 post‐menopausal volunteer women, aged 60‐68 years, with mild knee OA were recruited in a randomized, controlled, 4‐month aquatic training trial (RCT) and randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 43) and a control (n = 44) group. The intervention group participated in 48 supervised aquatic resistance training sessions over 4 months while the control group maintained their usual l…

Vesiharjoittelun vaikutus polven nivelrikkoa sairastavien aerobiseen kuntoon

2015

Tutkimuksen tausta ja tarkoitus Nivelrikko on maailman yleisin nivelsairaus. Pääpaino nivelrikon hoidossa on lääkkeettömässä hoidossa. Nivelrikkopotilailla on todettu olevan alhaisempi aerobinen kunto terveisiin verrattuna. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia vesiharjoittelun vaikutusta aerobiseen kuntoon polven niverikkoa sairastavilla postmenopausaalisilla naisilla. Tutkimusaineisto- ja menetelmät Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin Jyväskylässä vuosina 2012-2013. Tutkimusasetelmana oli randomisoitu kontrolloitu tutkimus. Tutkittavat (N=87) satunnaistettiin joko koe- tai kontrolliryhmään, jossa koeryhmäläiset tekivät 16 viikkoa kolme kertaa viikossa progressiivista vedessä tapahtuvaa vastusharjoi…

Exercise as stimulus for cartilage health in knee osteoarthritis

2018

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability and has significant socio-economical costs globally. There is no known cure for OA. Therapeutic exercise has been shown to evoke acute positive posttreatment effects on pain and function. Even though cartilage degeneration is crucial in OA progression, there is sparse knowledge about exercise effects on osteoarthritic cartilage. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of aquatic resistance training on the estimated biochemical composition of tibiofemoral cartilage and the association between leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and tibiofemoral cartilage in postmenopausal women with mild kn…

Vesivastusharjoittelun vaikutus vaikea-asteista polven nivelrikkoa sairastavien miesten ja naisten tasapainoon

2014

Jenni Vuolahti (2014). Vesivastusharjoittelun vaikutus vaikea-asteista polvennivelrikkoa sairastavien miesten ja naisten tasapainoon. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Gerontologian ja kansanterveyden pro gradu – tutkielma, 37 s. Polven nivelrikko on ikääntyvän väestön yleinen sairaus, joka aiheuttaa merkittäviä kustannuksia yhteiskunnalle ja heikentää yksilön toimintakykyä ja elämänlaatua. Polven nivelrikon aiheuttamia toimintakyvyn ja elämänlaadun ongelmia ovat muun muassa kipu, alaraajojen lihasvoiman heikkeneminen, kävelyn vaikeutuminen sekä tasapainon heikkeneminen. Heikentynyt tasapaino rajoittaa ja hankaloittaa ikääntyvän arjesta suoriutumista ja aiheuttaa suurentuneen r…

The effect of aquatic exercise on symptoms, function, body composition and cartilage in knee osteoarthritis

2016

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease associated with pain and loss of functional capacity. The management of knee OA is multifaceted and covers the whole OA continuum from injury prevention to the end stage of the disease. Recently, specific focus has been on preventing the progression of cartilage degeneration and avoiding loss of function in the early phase of the disease via the provision of exercise interventions. Aquatic exercise is a popular but under-researched exercise option. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the role of aquatic exercise in the management of knee OA, focusing especially the effect it evokes on both functional capaci…
