Trial Outcomes & Findings for Resistance Exercise and Knee Osteoarthritis Pain, Functional Impairment and Cartilage Turnover (NCT NCT01245283)

NCT ID: NCT01245283

Last Updated: 2014-12-05

Results Overview

The WOMAC is a standard, multidimensional, self-administered functional-health status instrument for patients with lower limb OA. Subjects will complete the self-assessment at the time intervals indicated to document any change in their perception of their functional health status. Scale for Total score: the higher score means the worst the function and pain Total WOMAC scores will have a range of 0 to 96 (best and worst scores possible). 0-20 Womac pain (0= best, 20=worst) 0-8 Womac stiffness (0= best, 8=worst) 0-68 Womac functional (0= best, 68=worst) 0-96 Womac Total (0= best, 96=worst)

Telephone contact will be made weekly to encourage adherence to the knee management guidelines
Concentric Focused RX (CRX)
Training protocol for 1 set of each exercise will be completed - leg press, leg curl, leg extension, chest press, seated row, overhead press, triceps dip, biceps curl, and calf press. Concentric Focused Resistance Exercise: Two resistance exercise sessions per week; 1 set of 10-12 repetitions of each exercise will be completed - leg press, leg curl, leg extension, chest press, seated row, overhead press, triceps dip, biceps curl, and calf press.
Eccentric Focused RX (ERX)
The Human Dynamics Laboratory features prototype equipment that increases resistance loads during the eccentric phase of the contraction while "assistance" is provided by the machine during the concentric phase. One set of each exercise - leg press, leg curl, leg extension, chest press, seated row, overhead press, triceps dip, biceps curl, and calf press. Eccentric Focused Resistance Exercise: Two resistance exercise sessions per week; 1 set of 10-12 repetitions of each exercise will be completed - leg press, leg curl, leg extension, chest press, seated row, overhead press, triceps dip, biceps curl, and calf press.

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 Months

Each participant will walk at a self-selected pace in the lab around a pre-measured loop for a period of six minutes. Subjects will complete the walk test at the time intervals indicated to document any change. 6 minute walk test is a baseline and 4 month post intervention measurement. It is used to measure distance covered while walking during 6 minutes.
