Knee Osteoarthritis Rehabilitation Through Rotational Inertia

MI-összefoglaló

A vizsgálat saját részvételi feltételeiből. Gép olvasta ki az oldalon álló regiszterszövegből, ezért tévedhet. Hogy ki vehet részt, azt a lenti regiszterszöveg és a vizsgálat csapata dönti el.

The trial is looking for adults aged 40-70 with knee osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis). It also takes healthy adults without knee problems as a comparison group.

A betegség stádiuma

Knee osteoarthritis confirmed on X-ray, Kellgren-Lawrence Grade 2 or 3 (mild to moderate). People must be able to walk on their own; walking aids are allowed. Healthy volunteers must have KL Grade 0 or 1 and no frequent knee pain.

Korábbi kezelés

Healthy volunteers cannot have had knee surgery (for example ACL reconstruction, meniscectomy, patellar realignment).

A részvétel fő kizáró okai

• Uncontrolled high blood pressure or other heart and blood vessel disease
• A muscle, bone or joint condition that prevents physical testing
• Muscle weakness from a nerve problem, such as stroke or spinal cord injury
• BMI >34.9 kg/m²
• A hospital stay in the past 3 months

Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

This study is testing whether a new type of exercise program, called eccentric overload training using a flywheel device, can improve stair-climbing ability in people with knee osteoarthritis. The flywheel device provides resistance throughout the entire movement and gives extra challenge during the muscle-lengthening phase of exercise. This type of training may improve muscle structure, strength, and coordination more effectively than conventional methods.

A vizsgálat 2 csoportja

• Initial-Exercise'A vizsgált kezelés

  The initial exercise group will participate in an 8-week eccentric overload exercise intervention using a kBox, with two sessions per week. Participants will then cease the intervention for 8 weeks to enter a detraining period.

  Kezelés: Eccentric resistance training

• Delayed-ExerciseA vizsgált kezelés

  The 'Delayed-Exercise' group will maintain their normal activity, without intervention, for the first 8 weeks of the study. In the second half of the study, they will begin the same 8-week kBox training completed by the 'Initial-Exercise' group.

  Kezelés: Eccentric resistance training
