Sonographic soft tissue arthritic changes associated with post-stroke hemiplegic knee pain: utility of musculoskeletal ultrasound in a resource-limited setting

Abstract: PurposePost-stroke arthritic changes that may compromise rehabilitation have been described in the upper and lower limbs. We aimed at evaluating the soft tissue arthritic changes associated with pain in hemiplegic knees of stroke patients in our environment.Material and methodsHemiplegic and non-hemiplegic knees of 48 stroke patients as well as both knees of 26 apparently healthy controls were evaluated with a 7.5-12 MHz linear ultrasound probe. History of knee pain, and socio-demographic, laboratory, and clin… Show more

“…A study by Aderibigbe et al examined the knee joint sonography of 48 stroke patients compared to 26 healthy subjects. The findings of joint soft tissue arthritis, medial and lateral cartilage thickening of the femur, bone border irregularities on both the paretic and non-paretic sides (Aderibigbe et al, 2020). A study by Al-Dadah et al conducted an assessment of proprioceptive function in 50 patients with articular cartilage lesions of the knee joint and found a proprioception deficit compared to the control group and the deficit was also found on the healthy side of the knee (Al-Dadah et al, 2020).…”

“…Three studies investigated the prevalence of osteoarthritis-associated imaging patterns in patients with stroke, using sonography (Table IV in the Data Supplement). [13][14][15] Two of the studies compared the knees of stroke survivors to those of able-bodied controls. 13,14 Aderibigbe reported that hemiparetic stroke survivors experience greater osteoarthritis-associated bone and soft tissue alterations compared with their normal-ambulating peers.…”

“…[13][14][15] Two of the studies compared the knees of stroke survivors to those of able-bodied controls. 13,14 Aderibigbe reported that hemiparetic stroke survivors experience greater osteoarthritis-associated bone and soft tissue alterations compared with their normal-ambulating peers. 14 Cartilage thinning observed in the lateral-compartment of paretic knees 15 were postulated to be caused by a combination of immobilization and/or gait changes that overloaded this region of the knee, and it was suggested that early mobilization after stroke may help protect cartilage integrity.…”

“…13 In addition, sonographic arthritic changes are reported in the knees of people with stroke. 14 Thus, it is likely that an AFO prescribed to a person with chronic stroke might be experiencing or be at risk for knee osteoarthritis. Most orthotic research in the coronal plane has focused on the effects of orthotic interventions on the external knee adduction moment in people with knee osteoarthritis.…”
