AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for older men and women with knee osteoarthritis in both knees and sarcopenic obesity (low muscle mass with excess body fat). It tests whole-body vibration training.

Age
60 to 75 years
Sex
Men and women
Disease stage
Knee osteoarthritis of Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 or 4, with sarcopenic obesity: SMI < 7 kg/m2, PBF ≥ 30%, and BMI ≥ 28% or waist circumference ≥ 85 cm (33 in) in men and ≥ 80 cm (31 in) in women.
Earlier treatment
The knee joint must not have had drug treatment or an injection into the joint.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Inability to walk
  • Uncontrollable angina pectoris induced by exercise
  • Uncontrolled hypertension, acute or chronic renal failure, or shortness of breath at rest
  • Neurological or respiratory conditions or injuries, such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis or COPD
  • Rheumatoid arthritis or clinical depression

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This study will aim to evaluate the effects of whole-body vibration training (WBVT) on body composition, muscle strength (hand grip strength), and physical performance [gait speed (GS), 5-time chair stand test (5CST), and short physical performance battery (SPPB), pain intensity, triglycerides in older people with knee OA and sarcopenic obesity in a group of Men compared to group of females.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Elderly male patients with knee osteoarthritisTreatment being tested

    Treatment: Whole-body vibration training

  • Elderly female patients with knee osteoarthritisExisting treatment, for comparison

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
