Osteoarthritis as a Cause of Locomotive Syndrome: Its Influence on Functional Mobility and Activities of Daily Living

Abstract: Locomotive syndrome'' is defined as a condition associated with restriction in one's ability to walk or lead a normal life due to a dysfunction in one or more of the parts of the locomotion system, including the muscles, bones, joints, cartilage or intervertebral discs. This syndrome especially refers to individuals who have come to need nursing care services because of problems with the locomotive organs, or those who have conditions which may require them to need such services in the near future.

“…MRI can be helpful in evaluating the integrity of the hyaline articular cartilage, subarticular bone abnormalities, subchondral cysts, meniscus changes, the cruciate ligaments and collateral ligaments, synovitis and intra-articular free bodies [59]. Commonly used laboratory tests (common blood count, biochemical screening) do not indicate to pathological changes in classical knee OA even in secondary synovitis and it serves a diagnostic criterion for differential diagnosis of the knee condition [60].…”

“…However, medial meniscus disposition occurs not only medially (MME) but also anteriorly, and the anterior deviation of the meniscus is called as anterior meniscus extrusion (AME) [ 9 ]. In case of changes in position and/or morphology of the meniscus, mechanical force to the articular cartilage is inadequately dispersed and the overall biomechanics of the knee joint are altered, resulting in increased risk for cartilage loss and incidence and progression of knee OA [ 3 , 8 , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ]. Actually, MME is known to be an important risk factor for the incidence and progression of knee OA [ 14 , [17] , [18] , [19] ].…”

“…Nearly 30% of individuals older than 45 years old and over 80% of women older than 80 years old are reported to have radiographic knee OA in the United States and Japan, respectively 3,4 . With increased numbers of elderly people, patients with knee OA are increasing worldwide 5 . Elucidation of the progression mechanism and development of treatment methods for knee OA will be important to extend healthy life expectancy 6,7 .…”
