“…This study investigated the changes in knee 6DOF with and without an OUB to analyze the role of the OUB from different perspectives. In addition to specialized motion capture devices, researchers have also used some common wearable devices to detect the daily habits of people with KOA [ 38 ]. Such wearable devices are more conducive to the collection of large-scale physical activity data, although some information is missing.…”

“…Clinicians have to be aware that when alterations in the normal knee physiology are present, aerobic activities should be limited (no more than 10,000 steps/day), increasing weight-bearing activities to maintain PA level [ 49 ]. In order to measure the daily activities, individuals with OA could use smartwatches or fitness trackers to collect the PA during the day including both walking and exercising [ 50 ].…”

How Physical Activity Affects Knee Cartilage and a Standard Intervention Procedure for an Exercise Program: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

(1) Background: Cartilage degeneration with the natural aging process and the role of physical activity on cartilage wellness is still not clear. The objective of the present review was to understand how different physical activity interventions affect the cartilage and to propose a Standard Operating Procedure for an exercise program to maintain knee joint health; (2) Methods: Articles were collected on three different electronic databases and screened against the eligibility criteria. Results were collected in tables and the main outcomes were discussed narratively; (3) Results: A total of 24 studies have been included after the screening process and aerobic, strength, flexibility, postural balance, and mobility interventions were detected. Different protocols and types of interventions were adopted by the authors; (4) Conclusions: Physical activity interventions have mainly positive outcomes on cartilage structure, but the protocols adopted are different and various. A Standard Operating Procedure has been proposed for a physical intervention focalized on cartilage wellness that could be adopted as an intervention in the clinical setting. Furthermore, the creation of a standardized protocol wants to help scientific research to move in the same direction.

“…This correlation confirms the results of previous population-based studies that showed association of health-related quality of life and physical activities [ 60 , 61 ]. Emerging evidence supports the use of digital devices that provide real-world data to monitor physical activity and sedentary time in people with OA [ 62 ] rather than relying on recall of physical activity with self-reported PA measures.…”

Augmented Rehabilitation Program for Patients 60 Years and Younger Following Total Hip Arthroplasty—Feasibility Study

et al. 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility, safety and outcomes of a study comparing a 6-week post-operative rehabilitation program to usual care in patients ≤60 years undergoing elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: A cohort of 24 THA patients were recruited during their 6-week postoperative visit to their surgeons. The community-based rehabilitation program, which was designed to improve function and increase activity, consisted of 12 structured exercise classes on land and water over 6 weeks. Physical activity was assessed using a Sense Wear Pro Armband (SWA). Participants completed the Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and THA satisfaction questionnaire before and immediately after the intervention. Results: 14 participants received the augmented rehabilitation, and 10 participants were in the control group. All except one in the intervention group completed at least 80% of the sessions. The intervention group took significantly more steps/day (mean difference = 2440 steps/day, 95% CI = 1678, 4712) (p < 0.05), at the follow-up compared to baseline. The intervention group had a higher mean change of number of weekly PA bouts than the control group. Within the intervention group, all HOOS subscales were significantly higher at the follow-up compared to baseline. Conclusion: Findings provided pragmatic insight regarding the intervention and assessments of implementing an augmented rehabilitation program for elective THA.
