Feasibility and effectiveness of an individualized, group-based physical exercise program with educational components in people with knee and/or hip OA – a randomized controlled pilot study
- Conditions
- Persons with hip and/or knee (osteo)arthrosis, which has been diagnosed by a physician. In addition, the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology” for an idiopathic arthrosis of the hip joint (Altman et al., 1991) or an arthrosis of the knee joint (Altman et al., 1986) should be fulfilled.M15M16M17PolyarthrosisCoxarthrosis [arthrosis of hip]Gonarthrosis [arthrosis of knee]

• Persons who suffer from knee and/or hip osteoarthrosis
• Hip osteoarthrosis 50 years
• Knee osteoarthrosis 38 years
• Arthrosis diagnosed by a physician (following ICD-10: M15 – Primary generalized (osteo)arthrosis, M16 – Coxarthrosis [arthrosis of hip] and/or M17 – Gonarthrosis [arthrosis of knee]
• Fulfilment of the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology” (ACR) for an idiopathic arthrosis of the knee joint (Altmann et al., 1986) or the hip joint (Altman et al., 1991)
• In case of uncertainties regarding the suitability for physical training and without medical consent regarding the suitability for physical training.
• Persons who participate in a systematic physical training of more than two hours per week with the aim of decreasing osteoarthrosis-related symptoms.
• Patients who are on a waiting list for the implantation of a total endoprosthesis (TEP), who already have a fixed appointment for this or whose affected joint has already been replaced by a TEP.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Feasibility: The feasibility of the chosen methodological approach in the study as well as the feasibility including the acceptability by persons with hip and/or knee osteoarthrosis are operationalized according to published recommendations (Thabane et al., 2010; Eldridge et al., 2016) on the basis of predefined criteria in the domains of study design including randomization, measurement instruments, costs, intervention, assessment of effects of the intervention and effort. <br><br>Effectiveness: Complaints caused by hip and/or knee osteoarthrosis are assessed by standardized questionnaires Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) (Blasimann, Dauphinee, & Staal, 2014) and „Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) (Collins, Misra, Felson, Crossley, & Roos, 2011; Kessler, Lang, Puhl, & Stöve, 2003) before and after the intervention period within three weeks.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Effectiveness: Secondary outcome measures are also assessed before and after the intervention period within three weeks. <br><br>[1] Mobility, assessed with the six-minute walk test (Ateef, Kulandaivelan, & Tahseen, 2016; Dobson et al., 2017; Enright, 2003).<br><br>[2] Range of motion of hip and knee, assessed with a goniometer using the neutral-0-method (Ryf & Weymann, 1999).<br><br>[3] Strength, assessed with a force dynamometer (Muff, G. et al., 2016; Awward et al., 2017).<br><br>[4] Physical performance: functional interaction of strength, flexibility and proprioception (in individual cases), assessed with the Y Balance Test (Coughlan et al., 2012; Plisky et al., 2009).<br><br>[5] Occupational performance, assessed with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) (Law, 2015). <br><br>[6] Measuring coping strategies for pain and its evaluation, assessed with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, German version (Meyer, Sprott, & Mannion, 2008; Verra & Winteler, 2015).
