“…Osteoarthritis is the most common degenerative joint disorder worldwide, especially in the elderly, and a major cause of pain and disability [1]. The most affected joints are the hip and knee, which usually present with loss of articular cartilage, narrowing of joint space, and production of bone spurs [2].…”

Abstract-We investigated the role of an evidence-based integrated group rehabilitation program on the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This was a two-group, randomized controlled, 8 wk trial with 41 patients with moderate to very severe KOA. Patients were assigned to an intervention group (IG) or control group (CG). After both groups had received a self-management education program, IG participants underwent a rehabilitation program, including educational aspects about KOA followed by exercises. CG participants received only general health orientation about KOA during this period. The outcome measures were the Lequesne algofunctional index; 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); and chair-stand, sit-and-reach, timed up-and-go, and 6-minute walk tests. Analysis of covariance revealed significant postintervention improvements of IG participants compared with CG participants (p < 0.05) on Lequesne total score and pain and function subdomains; SF-36 physical function, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, and role emotional subdomains; and performance assessed by chair-stand, timed up-and-go, and 6-minute walk tests. Focusing on the primary outcome (Lequesne total score), the mean +/-standard deviation after 8 wk was 5.50 +/-2.98 for the IG and 7.87 +/-3. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/ NCT01850862?term=NCT01850862&rank=1

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disabling disease that produces severe morbidity reducing physical activity. Our position statement on treatment of knee OA with viscosupplementation injection (hyaluronic acid, HA) versus steroid (intra-articular corticosteroids, IAS) and placebo (intra-articular placebo, IAP) is based on the evaluation of treatment effect by examining the number of participants within a treatment arm who met the Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials-Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) criteria, which is different and more relevant than methods used in other reviews which examined if the average change across the treatment groups were clinically different. We performed a systematic literature search for all relevant articles from 1960 to August 2014 in the MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL. We performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) of the relevant literature to determine if there is a benefit from HA as compared with IAS and IAP. 11 papers met the inclusion criteria from the search strategy. On NMA, those participants receiving HA were 15% and 11% more likely to respond to treatment by OMERACT-OARSI criteria than those receiving IAS or IAP, respectively (p<0.05 for both). In the light of the aforementioned results of our NMA, the American Medical Society for Sport Medicine recommends the use of HA for the appropriate patients with knee OA.

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease in the world, and in Brazil it is estimated to affect 6 to 12% of the adults and one third of the elderly population. There is evidence that exercise, especially resistance exercise, may reduce disease progression. Objective: The aim of this study was to review the literature regarding resistance exercise as a treatment for osteoarthritis. Method: Articles indexed in the PubMed database were reviewed by employing the "therapy narrow" filter, through the "clinical queries" interface. Twenty studies were selected for full text review. Several types of resistance exercise interventions, with different intensities, duration and speed were studied by other authors. Results: The various types of resistance exercise seem to be safe and effective in promoting functional improvements and pain reduction in osteoarthritis patients. Low intensity and isometric exercises can also promote benefits. Conclusion: Adherence to the programs is close to 50% and the combined use of supplements or drugs along with exercise has been little studied so far in this population.
