Influence of knee osteoarthritis and aging on isokinetic muscle strength of the lower limbs in women

This study investigated the effects of kinesio taping (KT) or KT plus conventional therapy on pain, muscle strength, funrefction, and range of motion in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Data sources: Databases included PubMed, Ovid Medline, CINAHL, Airiti Library, EMBASE, and WOS search engines. Search terms related to KT and knee OA were combined and searched. Articles that met the inclusion criteria and were graded with a Jadad score ≥3 were included in a meta-analysis to calculate the total effect. The exclusion criteria were non-English-language articles, non-original articles, non-full-text articles, no description of the intervention, or articles with a Jadad score ≤2. Eleven articles were included in the meta-analysis. KT treatment had a significant small total effect on pain reduction (p < 0.001; n = 1509; standardized mean difference (SMD) = −0.42; 95% CI = −0.65 to −0.18) and a significant moderate total effect on isokinetic muscle strength improvement (p = 0.001; n = 447; SMD = 0.72; 95% CI = 0.28 to 1.16). No significant total effects of KT on isometric muscle strength, time to complete functional tasks, or ROM improvement were found. KT or KT plus conventional therapy has a significant effect on pain relief and isokinetic but not isometric muscle strength improvement in patients with knee OA. KT can be an effective tool for treating knee OA pain and is especially valuable for aiding in isokinetic muscle strength. (PROSPERO register ID: CRD42021252313)

Abstract Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is among the most common osteoarthritis diseases that affect adults older than 65 years old. Impaired neuromuscular function contributes to the development and/or progression of KOA. As a new modality in strength training, whole-body vibration (WBV) training is considered in the management of KOA. However, the inconsistent results of previous studies dampened the enthusiasm for the clinical application of WBV.Methods Eligible participants with KOA were randomly allocated to WBV, strength training (ST) and health education (HE) groups. Finally, 57 participants completed the intervention and measurements. The participants in each group were encouraged to perform the WBV training, similar strength training or health education program. These supervised interventions were performed three times per week for 8 weeks. Physical function was assessed with Timed Up and Go (TUG) and 6-min Walk Distance tests. Neuromuscular function was measured with isokinetic muscle strength and proprioception. Results All variables of physical function and neuromuscular function failed to change significantly among three groups. However, compared with the baseline, the time of TUG and isokinetic muscle strength improved significantly only in WBV group. Conclusion WBV training has been recommended for strength training in elderly people and patients with musculoskeletal diseases. The 8-week WBV training under the protocol of our study was not superior to ST and HE. Hence, more clinical studies are required in the future to develop an optimal training protocol.

The Mean

Purpose: The Insall-Salvati Index (ISI) is the ratio of the patellar tendon length to the length of the patella. This ratio is the most commonly used method for evaluating patellar placement and patellofemoral imbalance. The position of the patella is important for the knee joint function and also biomechanics. The abnormal position of the patella may lead to patellofemoral malalignment and instability. Herein, we aimed to analyze the relationship between the ISI and pain, physical function, muscle strength, fall risk and postural stability in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: 62 sympthomatic knees of 45 patients (aged between 40 -75 years) who were suffering from the primary knee OA according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria were included retrospectively in the study. Patients with stages II and III osteoarthritis according to the Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) radiological grading system were included. The ISI was measured on the lateral knee radiograph in a 30° flexed posture. Visual Analogue scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) and Lequesne indexes were recorded for evaluating pain and function. Tetrax Interactive Balance System was used to assess fall risk and postural stability. Isokinetic muscle strength measurements of quadriceps and hamstrings were recorded at the constant angular velocities of 60 and 180°/sec. Results: The mean age of the study population was 58.52 ±8.01 years. Th The frequency of the patellar situation types were as follows; patella alta; 15 (24.2%), patella baja; n=2(3.2%), normal patellar height; n=45(72.6%). The mean ISI was found 1.19 ±0.17 on the right side and 1.18±0.16 on the left side. There was not any significant correlation between the ISI and VAS, WOMAC and Lequesne indexes, postural stability scores and isokinetic measurements (r<0.3, p>0.05). Conclusions: In primary knee OA, the ISI may not have an effect on pain, physical function, fall risk, postural stability, and isokinetic muscle strength.
