Detailed Description
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting mainly women. Patients with OA present pain that usually worsens with weight support and improves with rest, as well as morning stiffness and after periods of inactivity.
Quadriceps weakness was previously associated with functional impairment of OA. Evidence also suggests that muscle strength may prevent the progression of existing OA. In fact, positive associations were found between increased quadriceps strength and self-efficacy of ambulation, reduction of pain and improvement of function, emphasizing the role of muscle strengthening in the treatment of knee OA.
It is estimated that the decline in muscle mass between 40 and 80 years is between 30% and 50%, with reported losses in functional capacity reaching 3% each year after the age of 60 years. Therefore, procedures capable of enhancing the effects of exercise on muscle strength and function may be beneficial for elderly patients with knee OA.
The results of our previous studies have shown that with each year of life the patient loses strength gain capacity.
Creatine is a natural amine endogenously synthesized by the liver, kidney and pancreas or obtained in the diet from red meat, seafood and dairy products. Creatine plays an important role in rapid energy supply, being stored mainly in the skeletal muscles (90%) as phosphocreatine, a high energy phosphate involved in the rapid resynthesis of adenosine triphosphate during muscle contraction. It has already been demonstrated that the combination of resistance training and creatine supplementation is superior to exercise alone in the elderly and has proved to be a useful tool in the elderly with knee OA.
Studies have demonstrated the need for a higher protein intake in the elderly with some studies showing greater protein synthesis and improved body composition parameters.
The investigators believe that an education and physical activity program, used in the previous work of the authors that presented improvement of WOMAC, that can be reproduced in any basic health care unit, along with supplementation with creatine and branched chain amino acids can lead to an improvement functional evaluation of elderly patients with knee OA.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Experimental
Multiprofessional treatment and Educational Program Associated (EPA+C+BCAA) with supplementation of creatine and BCAA.
|
17 patients will participate in two days of lectures two-months apart on the subject of knee OA, but will also come to the hospital at months 1, 3 and 5 after the first class to consult about nutritional habits to be improved; at months 4 and 6 to participate in a group therapy session with the psychologists, 7 sessions with the physical therapy team followed by 7 sessions with the physical educators team (once a week/4 weeks and once every two weeks, three times).
Patients will be supplemented with creatine 5 grams and maltodextrin 100g, 30 minutes before training.
At breakfast they will also ingest 5 grams of BCAA (1,200 milligrams of leucine, 600 milligrams of isoleucine and 600 milligrams of valine per dose)
|
Active Comparator: Control group
Multiprofessional treatment and Educational Program Associated (EPA+C) with supplementation of creatine only.
|
17 patients will participate in two days of lectures two-months apart on the subject of knee OA, but will also come to the hospital at months 1, 3 and 5 after the first class to consult about nutritional habits to be improved; at months 4 and 6 to participate in a group therapy session with the psychologists, 7 sessions with the physical therapy team followed by 7 sessions with the physical educators team (once a week/4 weeks and once every two weeks, three times).
Patients will be supplemented with creatine 5 grams and maltodextrin 100g, 30 minutes before training.
At breakfast they will also ingest 5 grams of placebo.
