“…One recent study in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by Mohammed and associates in 2018, have concluded that their participants were not aware of disabilities associated with knee OA (33). Due to the lack of knowledge of knee OA associated disability and avoidance nature, disability level of the cohorts of the current study might have deteriorated and the so called hidden disability has been neglected by the worshippers because of which the elderly Muslim male populace were unable to sit on the ground to offer the prayers and acquired an alternate method of chair adaptability to offer the prayers (5).…”

“…A present study had cross-sectionally evaluated the subjects for their physical activity, quality of life using only subjective outcome measures and found the reason for adaptation of an alternative method of chair usage to offer the prayers (5). In the present study, the author has correlated the objective knee disability (declined knee ROM) using a goniometer with subjective outcome physical activities using a self-rated questionnaire where the subjects faced physical difficulties during prayers (Salat) in an authentic prayer procedure which requires various knee range of movements.…”

“…Although our subjects were functionally mobile and used to visit the Mosque 5 times a day for their daily prayers with adapting a chair, a hidden disability has been observed among them as they were unable to squat and kneel down on the ground as followed in an authenticated prayer practice due to knee stiffness which was positively associated with self-rated disability. Subjects had a mean history of 7 months-9 years of chair usage which was also a reason for high correlation between the variables enhancing the vicious cycle (5).…”

“…Recent studies in Middle-east in the year 2020 have concluded that there was an impact of culture on health and effects of OA on physical activity limitation, participation, and religious activities (4). One Saudi-based study has stated that Muslim worshipers in Saudi society who could not perform the prayers on the floor which actually requires full flexion of the knee joints, have adapted to chair usage to offer the prayers due to their knee pain caused by OA (5). OA commonly affects the movable as well as weight bearing joints (6).…”

“…A study in the year 2000 by Steultjens et al and associates has concluded that the knee flexion range of motion (ROM) was a strong determinant factor and is associated with disability (15). Recent studies in Saudi Arabia have concluded that the severe knee OA patients have worse knee pain and declined quality of life (5,16).…”

Introduction: The impact of knee osteoarthritis (OA) on physical activities of daily life was studied extensively among the elderly across the globe but not well understood in the Saudi Arabian populace with cultural consideration. This paper assessed the association between knee flexion range of motion (ROM) and ritual physical activities among elderly males due to knee OA.Methods: A cross-sectional study with a sample of 139 males aged 56–74 years diagnosed with knee OA recruited at prayer places. The subjective evaluation was carried using a disease-specific Arabic knee physical functional questionnaire Knee injury and OA Outcome Score-Physical Function Short form (KOOS-PS), and the anthropometric measure of knee flexion ROM was objectively measured by a manual goniometer.Results: The mean and standard deviation of the study sample age, height, weight, and body mass index were 66.9 ± 4.09 years, 158.4 ± 6.1 cm, 74.6 ± 7.1 kg, and 29.6 ± 1.9 kg/m2, respectively. The mean, standard deviation and median of the knee flexion ROM and Arabic-KOOS-PS Questionnaire score were 100.7 ± 7.9, 101.5 and 12.9 ± 13.7, 13.4. The non-parametric Spearman correlation coefficient between the knee stiffness and KOOS-PS physical activities resulted very strong positively correlation, r = 0.967.Conclusion: A strong positive correlation has been found between hidden knee disability and ritual physical activities among male cohorts in Saudi cultural community with knee OA

This study aims to determine complementary and alternative medicine methods used by rheumatology patients to cope with insomnia and to evaluate their attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine methods. This descriptive study was completed with 167 patients followed up by the rheumatology unit of a university hospital. Data were collected with the patient identification form and the Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine Questionnaire. The mean age of the participants was 44.76 ± 8.96 years and the mean disease duration was 52.90 ± 35.51 months. Most of the participants (69.5%) were women, with 64.1% primary school graduates. Majority of the participants (96.4%) knew complementary and alternative medicine methods, and the main source of information (51.5%) was the internet and social media. The most frequently applied method was phytotherapy (58.7%), the most frequently used plant (30.5%) was stinging nettle and the mean Holistic Complementary and Alternative Medicine Questionnaire score of the patients was 26.68 ± 3.51. Rheumatology patients frequently use complementary and alternative medicine methods to cope with insomnia symptoms and the most commonly used complementary and alternative medicine method used by patients is phytotherapy.

This study used a conceptual model to examine the factors influencing physical, mental, and overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women and men aged 45 and older with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in Saudi Arabia. In this multicenter cross-sectional study, we randomly included 356 individuals aged 45 years or above with doctor-confirmed KOA from the orthopedic and physiotherapy departments of the 5 tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between March 2016 and March 2017. We split all participants into men (n = 146) and women (n = 210) based on gender. A conceptual model was developed using the HRQoL influential potential factors, such as age, sex, education, occupation, and way of eating (sociodemographic), and clinical factors, such as osteoarthritis knee and its severity, duration, pain, and body mass index. The 36-item short form health survey and its subscales of the physical composite scale and mental composite scale were used to evaluate overall HRQoL, physical, and mental health, respectively. We used unadjusted multiple linear regression analyses to investigate the associations between gender-specific potential factors and HRQoL outcomes. Women and men aged between 60 and 64 years were more strongly associated significantly with less physical composite scale score by −3.17, (standard error [SE] = 1.71, P = .021) and −3.18 (SE = 1.69, P = .023) respectively, followed by the primary school or less education by −3.40 (SE = 1.27, P = .0002), severe KOA of −8.94 (SE = 0.99, P < .001), eating on the floor bending the knee of −3.93 (SE = 1.63, P = .042), and pain of −2.39 (SE = 0.26, P < .0001). Women and men with primary school or less education significantly had low mental composite scale and 36-item short form health survey scores of −3.07 (SE = 1.22, P = .041) and −3.23 (SE = 0.99, P = .018), respectively, followed by severe KOA of −4.07 (SE = 1.22, P = .001) and −6.50 (SE = 0.83, P < .0001) and eating on the floor, extending the knee at −3.35 (SE = 1.74, P = .043). Risk factors like age, education, pain, body mass index, and severe KOA are linked to poor physical, mental, and overall HRQoL among women and men in Saudi Arabia.
