“…The WHR is considered a routine measure for health education and decreases the impact of knee OA on public health (OGUNBODE et al, 2014). All volunteers in the research presented a ratio higher than 0.81, and 37% of the total population presented a ratio higher than 0.9, which according to the WHO (1995) represents a greater chance of developing cardiovascular complications.…”

Verify possible associations between obesity and knee OA in users of Brazilian Unified National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS) of primary care network in Catalão-GO, Brazil. This is an observational study conducted in 2014 and 2015. A total of 81 volunteers from the Basic Attention Network in the city of Catalão, with body mass index (BMI) over 30 kg/m2 in both sexes, age between 40 and 60 years, and OA on radiological examination of the knee. Obesity was classified according to BMI. The diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) was made clinically and by radiography according to Kellgren radiological classification. The level of physical activity was assessed using the Baecke questionnaire and the Gordon Functional Classification. The volunteers underwent an anthropometric evaluation and physical examination with inspection and palpation of the joint and subsequent radiological examination of the knee. The volunteers answered a questionnaire on the level of physical activity and functional classification. Data analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test or chi-square test was used for comparisons of two proportions. In comparisons of continuous variables, Student’s t-test or the nonparametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test was used. The level of significance was set to 5%. Practice of regular physical exercise decreases functional impairment in obese individuals with knee OA. The weight variable demonstrated a strong association with the severity of OA and degree of functionality of patients. Obesity and OA durations and lack of patient guidance are variables that may contribute to the progression of knee OA. Although the incidence among men is lower, they are more severely affected and anthropometric evaluation and physical examination are an efficacy implementations for Brazilian users of SUS.

“…The literature search yielded no studies citing the use of this parameter in relation to specific disease entities. We employed the described methods in clinical practice because OAK patients develop a number of undesirable anatomical changes that negatively affect the knee joint position sense [27,40,41] and cause pain [21,26] and functional deficits [2,3,7,12,30]. Therefore, based on available data from other studies [27,42], we determined that the treatment algorithm for OAK patients should include therapeutic procedures that improve joint position sense and overall function while reducing pain intensity.…”

“…Osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK), even with unilateral presentation of symptoms, causes a significant deterioration of function, which, in turn, lowers patients' quality of life. In broader terms, it poses a significant public health problem [1][2][3].…”

Osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK) is characterized by pain, limitation of joint mobility, and significant deterioration of proprioception resulting in functional decline. This study assessed proprioception in OAK patients following two ten-day rehabilitation programs using the Orthyo® system. Fifty-four study participants with clinical symptoms and radiological signs of OAK were randomly divided into an exercise group (n = 27) or a manual therapy group (n = 27). The control group consisted of 27 volunteers with radiological signs of OAK, but with no clinical symptoms or prior history of rehabilitation. The following parameters were assessed: knee proprioception using inertial sensors and a mobile application, patients’ function using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), and pain intensity using the visual analog scale (VAS). Following rehabilitation, knee proprioception tests did not improve in either study group. Both study groups showed significant improvement of the WOMAC-assessed function (exercise group: p < 0.01, manual therapy group: p = 0.01) and a significant decrease (p < 0.01) of VAS-assessed pain following rehabilitation, but the post-therapy results did not differ significantly between the aforementioned groups. The Orthyo® system provided a quick and accurate assessment of the knee joint position sense. There was no direct relationship between functionality, pain, and proprioception threshold in the knee joint.

“…This is noteworthy because a more recent finding by Ogunbode et al reported that majority of respondents with knee osteoarthritis reported that the presence of the disease affected their self-rated health adversely. 6 A study on perceived family support of patients with type II diabetes mellitus in University College Hospital, Ibadan in 2007 revealed an inverse relationship between levels of perceived family support and blood glucose control. 19 Furthermore, there was also a statistically significant association between strong support from friends and good health perception in our study.…”

“…5 Ogunbode et al in 2014 reported that knee osteoarthritis significantly impaired the health and daily activities of adult patients in Ibadan, Nigeria. 6 Guidelines published by the American College of Rheumatology Diagnostic and Therapeutic Criteria Committee provide the classification of osteoarthritis as a clinical syndrome in older adults who present with joint pain, tenderness, limitation of movement, early morning stiffness and joint crepitus. 8 In clinical practice the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis is often made on the basis of history and physical examination.…”
