Do comorbidities predict pain and function in knee osteoarthritis following an exercise intervention, and do they moderate the effect of exercise? Analyses of data from three randomized controlled trials
Musculoskeletal Care Dec 19, 2019
Legha A, Burke DL, Foster NE, et al. - Experts aspired to explore if comorbidities anticipate pain and function following an exercise intervention in people with knee OA and if they moderate response to: exercise vs no exercise; and enhanced exercise vs usual exercise-based care. Existing data were analyzed from three randomized controlled trials: TOPIK (n = 217), APEX (n = 352) and Benefits of Effective Exercise for knee Pain (n = 514). According to findings, obesity and anxiety/depression anticipated pain and function results in people offered an exercise intervention, but only the presence of cardiac problems could moderate the impact of knee OA exercise. There is a need for more confirmatory inquiries.
