The Benefit of Functional Movement Control for Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
- Conditions
- Knee Osteoarthritis
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Aerobic exercise & movement controlBehavioral: Aerobic exercise
- Registration Number
- NCT03431298
- Lead Sponsor
- National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
- Brief Summary
The study purpose is to explore the effect of functional movement control for patients who have stage II or III degenerative knee joint disease and also physical inactive. Half of patients will receive aerobic exercise and functional movement control training in combination, while the other will simply receive aerobic exercise.
- Detailed Description
Physical inactivity, which is a common phenomenon among patients with degenerative knee joint disease has been proved a predictor of increased symptoms and poor general health. However, changing the lifestyle of people with this disease who is physical inactive is still a problem which has not been solved. Knee pain may act as barrier to engage in physical activity and can influence patient's movement performance.
The different effectiveness between the aerobic exercise and functional movement control training.
Aerobic exercise has been proved could improve knee pain for the patients with degenerative knee joint disease.
The functional movement control training could improve knee alignment during walking and other functional activities to increase patient's movement awareness.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method reaching proportions of the level of health enhancing physical activity up to 6 months after intervention the recommended level of health enhancing physical activity is at least 150 min of moderate intensity physical activity per week
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Step length Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention the distance between the first point of contact of a limb with the ground and the first point of contact of the limb on the opposite side
Walking speed Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention the velocity of single step
Step width Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention the distance between the centre of the first heel contact and the following one calculated perpendicularly to the direction of the horizontal axis drawn between the feet
Single leg stance time Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention the time of the stance phase of each foot
Sort Form-12v2 Healthy Survey Baseline and 1, 3, 6 month after intervention 12 question to measure functional health and well-being from the patient's point of view
Partial foot pressure as a percentage of body weight Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention The area footprinted during gait was divided into 6 parts according to the average foot areas of subject. Then, the partial foot pressure as a percentage of body weight was calculated as the average value during the stance phase of each step in each part as a percentage of the body weight.
Partial foot area as a percentage of body mass index Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention The area footprinted during gait was divided into 6 parts. The partial foot area as a percentage of body mass index was calculated as the average value during the stance phase of each step in each part as a percentage of the body mass index.
Gait Cadence Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention the number of steps per minute
Axis angle Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention the angle formed by the medial tangent of the foot and the line from the second/third toe to the center of the heel
The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Baseline and up to 1 week after intervention A questionnaire to assess the patient's opinion about their knee and associated problems.
