“…For pain, the mean improvement in the intervention group was 1.7 points (27%) on the NRS pain scale at 3 months followup. These improvements are of clinical relevance (47,48). No treatment-related serious adverse events occurred and dropout during the intervention was low, which suggests that our intervention is safe and feasible.…”

Objective. To evaluate the efficacy on physical functioning and safety of tailored exercise therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and comorbidities. Methods. In a randomized controlled trial, 126 participants were included with a clinical diagnosis of knee OA and at least 1 of the following target comorbidities: coronary disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or obesity (body mass index ‡30 kg/m 2 ), with severity score ‡2 on the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale. The intervention group received a 20-week, individualized, comorbidity-adapted exercise program consisting of aerobic and strength training and training of daily activities. The control group received their current medical care for knee OA and were placed on a waiting list for exercise therapy. Primary outcome measures were the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, subscale physical functioning (WOMAC-pf), and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Measurements were performed at baseline, after 20 weeks (directly posttreatment), and at 3 months posttreatment. Results. Statistically significant physical functioning differences over time were found between the intervention and control group (WOMAC: B 5 27.43 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 29.99, 24.87], P < 0.001; and 6MWT: B 5 34.16 [95% CI 17.68, 50.64], P < 0.001) in favor of the intervention group. At 3 months followup, the mean improvements in the intervention group were 33% on the WOMAC scale and 15% on the 6MWT. These improvements are of clinical relevance. No serious adverse events occurred during the intervention. Conclusion. This is the first study showing that tailored exercise therapy is efficacious in improving physical functioning and safe in patients with knee OA and severe comorbidities.

“…32 The SCT is useful as it measures the ability to negotiate stairs and this is a common challenge for individuals with OA. 33 Heiberg et al reported that individuals with OA completed an 8-SCT within the range of 10-14 sec. 34 This is similar to the range of 10-12 sec recorded in the present study where seven stairs were used.…”

“…Gait speed is considered a robust predictor of physical functioning and survival in older community-dwelling adults [38]. The women in our sample demonstrated a high level of physical functioning, according to normative reference values for preferred walking speed and number of chair stand repetitions [39]. Despite the participants' selfreported moderate levels of physical activity, there was a negative association between %IntraMF and gait speed.…”

Fat Infiltration in the Leg is Associated with Bone Geometry and Physical Function in Healthy Older Women

The objective of this study was to estimate the associations between muscular fat infiltration, tibia bone mineral quantity and distribution, and physical function in healthy older women. Thirty-five women (aged 60-75 years, mean 70 years) were recruited from the community. Percent intramuscular fat (%IntraMF) within the right leg tibialis anterior, soleus, and gastrocnemius muscles and total intermuscular fat (IMF) were segmented from magnetic resonance imaging scans at the mid-calf. Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content in the right tibialis anterior was measured with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Right tibia bone content, area, and strength were measured at the 4, 14, and 66% sites using peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Physical function was assessed by gait speed on the 20 m walking test. After adjusting for age, body size, and activity level, %IntraMF had a negative association with bone content and area at all tibia sites (r = -0.31 to -0.03). Conversely, greater IMF was associated with increased bone content and area (r = 0.04-0.32). Correlation coefficients for the association between IMCL and bone were negative (r = -0.44 to -0.03). All measures of fat infiltration had a negative association with observed physical function (r = -0.42 to -0.04). Our findings suggest that muscular fat infiltration in the leg of healthy postmenopausal women has a compartment-specific relationship with bone status and physical function. Minimizing fat accumulation within and between muscle compartments may prevent bone fragility and functional decline in women.
