Background: Patients with knee osteoarthritis who experience depression might have worse health outcomes. The aim of the present study was to explore the occurrence of depression and the factors influencing depression in community-dwelling elderly patients with osteoarthritis of the knee in China. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, correlational descriptive study. The study included 214 participants aged 60 and older diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis.Results: The mean total score of depression was 4.43, and depression correlated with age, body mass index (BMI), education, frequency of falls, number of comorbidities, use of walking aids, taking pain relief or cartilage protectors, pain, stiffness, physical function, social support, mobility function and the muscle strength of lower extremities (r = -0.342 to 0.525). Analysis using hierarchical multiple regression demonstrated that falling frequency, using walking aids, the number of comorbidities, BMI, physical function, social support, and stair-climb test explained 40.8% of the variance in depression.Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that depression among elderly people with knee OA is a serious problem. Strategies to increase patients’ physical function, prevent falls, lose weight, treat comorbid conditions, and encourage them to increase positive social interaction, and engage in muscle strength training might relieve depression in these patients.

“…The time to negotiate the stairs was measured by a stopwatch, as this method shows excellent test-retest intercorrelations (0.93) [ 36 ] in SCT. The minimal detectable change is set at 0.102 s [ 23 ]. A practice trial was completed and the mean of three subsequent trials was used for analysis.…”

Background The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of preoperative physiotherapy (PT) on functional, subjective and socio-economic parameters after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods 20 patients (mean ± SD: age 67 ± 7 years) scheduled for TKA at Balgrist University Hospital between July 2016 and March 2017 were randomly assigned to a control (CG) or intervention (IG) group. 3 to 4 weeks prior to surgery the IG completed 5 to 9 sessions of PT containing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques, endurance training and individually indicated interventions. Measurements were executed at baseline, preoperative and 3 months after TKA. The primary outcome measure was the Stair Climbing Test (SCT), secondary outcome measures were the knee range of motion (ROM) and the level of physical activity using Lysholm Score (LS) and Tegner Activity Scale (TAS). The subjective and socio-economic parameters were the Patients’ Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale, inpatient rehabilitation time, preoperative pain levels and metabolic equivalent (MET), postoperative intake of analgesics and overall costs. Results No difference between IG and CG was found for SCT (F (2/36) = 0.016, p = 0.984, η2 = 0.004). An interaction between group and time was shown for TAS (F (18/1) = 13.890) with an increase in the IG ( p = 0.002, η2 = 0.536). The sub-item “pain” within the LS presented a higher pain-level in CG (F (18/1) = 4.490, p = 0.048, η2 = 0.974), while IG showed a higher preoperative MET compared to CG ( p = 0.035). There were no other significant changes. The CG produced 21.4% higher overall costs, took more analgesics and showed higher preoperative pain levels than the IG. Conclusions Findings show that preoperative therapy improved the level of physical activity before and after TKA and resulted in a clinically relevant gain in TAS.

“…Protocols for measuring stair climbing vary greatly and have been applied in a range of populations (ie, OA, rheumatoid arthritis [RA], joint replacement, elderly or frail, cardiopulmonary, cerebrovascular accident, and children). Test variations include nine‐step ascend/descend (9,35,73‐77), 10‐step stair climb (6), “long stair climb” or climbing 50 standard‐sized steps with three landings (78,79), four‐step ascend/descend (69,78,80), 11‐step ascend/descend (81,82), three‐step ascent cycle duration (83), 20‐second SCT (2), and six‐step fast‐paced and self‐paced tests (84).…”

“…The test is easy to administer and requires little equipment and time. There is good reliability and validity for the 11‐step SCT, which justifies its use for determining OA‐related mobility limitations and clinical outcomes (81).…”
