OBJECTIVE
To investigate the correlation of fatigue with pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients and with disability in osteoarthritis patients.
METHODS
Twenty patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 20 patients with osteoarthritis were evaluated. The degree of fatigue was evaluated with a visual
BACKGROUND
Osteoarthritis is a prevalent chronic disease that impacts quality of life and imposes a heavy economic burden. Despite this there is no confirmed treatment that could prevent progressive destruction of osteoarthritic joints. Mesenchymal stem cells with their regenerative and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate correlates of fatigue among individuals with RA and OA, including mood, sleep, disease activity and radiographic damage.
METHODS
Fatigue was assessed using the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue-Global Fatigue Index (MAF-GFI) in 103 patients with RA and 103 with OA.
UNASSIGNED
To identify programmes involving therapeutic exercise that are effective for the management of hand osteoarthritis and to provide stakeholders with updated, moderate to high-quality recommendations supporting exercises for hand osteoarthritis.
UNASSIGNED
A systematic search and adapted
Most patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the proximal interphalangeal joint should be managed nonoperatively. When operative intervention becomes necessary, therapeutic options include joint fusion or flexible implant arthroplasty. Both relieve pain; however, an implant, while preserving
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the internal consistency of the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short-form (HOOS-PS) and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short-form (KOOS-PS) in total hip replacement (THR) and total knee (TKR) replacement.
This model of joint design argues 1) that excessive fatigue damage (MDx) in articular cartilage collagen can be the "final cause" of an arthrosis; 2) that known responses of a growing joint's anatomy and geometry, and modeling and maintenance activities, to mechanical loads minimize that cause and
Chronic pain associated with knee osteoarthritis may develop in connection with a maladaptive process of pain sensitization in the central nervous system. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been proposed to treat various pain syndromes related to central OBJECTIVE
Nonrandom assignment of therapy in observational studies and clinical practice can be accompanied by channeling bias and confounding by indication. This in turn can lead to unreliable conclusions about treatment effectiveness. Although widely acknowledged as important, no studies in
Purpose To examine the measurement properties of measures of psychological constructs in people with knee osteoarthritis. Method Participants with osteoarthritis of the knee completed the beck depression inventory (BDI-II), state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), arthritis helplessness index (AHI),
BACKGROUND
Significant restriction in the ability to participate in home, work and community life results from pain, fatigue, joint damage, stiffness and reduced joint range of motion and muscle strength in people with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis of the hand. With modest evidence on the
BACKGROUND
Acupuncture has been found to be beneficial in the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis. However, response among such patients is highly variable. Identification of subjects with greater response would facilitate a more rational use of acupuncture.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of psychological interventions (e.g. cognitive restructuring, relaxation) on physiological and psychological health in osteoarthritis patients. A systematic literature search was done using PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, China National
OBJECTIVE
The collagen network in human articular cartilage experiences a large number of stress cycles during life as it shows hardly any turnover after adolescence. We hypothesized that, to withstand fatigue failure, the physical condition of the collagen network laid down at adolescence is of
Dislocation is one of the most common complications of total hip arthroplasty (THA). To the authors' knowledge, late recurrent dislocation of a THA with a ceramic-on-ceramic coupling secondary to fatigue fracture of the ceramic liner has never been described. A 76-year-old woman with right hip
