The Effect of Physical Activity on Knee Osteoarthritis, Pain and Gait
The Effect of Retro Walking on Pain and Gait Biomechanics Using Non-linear Analysis in People With Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee osteoarthritis, a chronic musculoskeletal disease, is the most prevalent type of osteoarthritis and the leading cause of disability and major healthcare costs worldwide. The pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood and there are few non-invasive disease-modifying therapies available to patients. Therefore, there is a critical need to enhance therapeutic interventions, which requires improvement of our understanding of knee osteoarthritis pathogenesis.
Increasing evidence suggests that physical activity and exercise training are cost-effective and widely available interventions for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, however, consideration of type of physical activity and optimal exercise modality are needed to reduce pain, improve gait, knee joint function, stiffness, and muscle weakness in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
The aim of this pilot clinical trial is to compare individuals with knee osteoarthritis who have not exercised with individuals that have performed retro walking exercise chosen from the systematic review and survey we have conducted previously to reduce pain and improve gait.
Non-linear analyses will be performed to determine the effects of exercise intervention on gait biomechanics and stability of movement in these patients. These findings may form a basis for recommendations of exercise/physical activity interventions for the benefits of patients with knee osteoarthritis including pain reduction, mobility improvement and gait modification.

Aseet ja interventiot
Osallistujaryhmä / Arm |
Interventio / Hoito |
|---|---|
|
Kokeellinen: Exercise
Participants in the intervention group will perform treadmill retro walking exercise 3 days/week for 6 weeks.
|
Prior to the intervention participants will be made familiar with retro walking on the treadmill. The exercise will consist of a forward walking for 5min on the treadmill for warm-up followed by retro walking for 10min and a cool-down for 5min. Participants will be instructed to increase their retro walking time up to 30min if the pain sensation continuously was reduced (pain scores < 3 numerical rating scale). The comfortable speed of the retro walking will be determined by the participant under supervision of the researchers. No slopes or inclination will be used in this study for participant safety. In the warm-up and cool-down sessions participants will be asked to perform muscle stretch, ankle toe movements and heel raise exercises.

Knee function and associated frequency and severity of pain
Aikaikkuna: Baseline or Day 1 and end of study at 6 weeks
|
Participants' opinion about their own knee function and associated problems will be assessed through self-administered and validated questionnaire Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). KOOS questionnaire designed to collectively evaluate and measure five outcomes in individuals with knee osteoarthritis including: Pain: Frequency and severity of knee pain. Symptoms: Swelling, grinding, stiffness, and range of motion issues. Activities of Daily Living (ADL): Difficulty with physical tasks like stairs, rising from a seat, or getting in and out of a car. Sports and Recreation Function: The ability to perform higher-level physical activities, such as running, squatting, or playing sports. Quality of Life (QOL): Knee-related lifestyle limitations and personal awareness of the joint. |
