Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized, controlled study was conducted in southern Sweden with two intervention programs for individuals with X-ray-verified hip osteoarthritis (OA). The patients were randomized to 1 of 3 groups; namely Hip School, Tai Chi for Arthritis (TCA), or a group receiving no intervention. The results showed significant improvement in physical function and self-efficacy within the interventions groups Tai Chi and Hip School. The Tai Chi group showed improvement in body awareness and quality of movements, and in self-efficacy between baseline and 6- month follow-up. The Hip School group showed significant improvement in body awareness and quality of movements between baseline and 6-month follow-up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized, controlled study was conducted in southern Sweden with two intervention programs for individuals with X-ray-verified hip OA. The patients were randomized to 1 of 3 groups; namely Hip School, TCA, or a group receiving no intervention. A total of 89 subjects attended the baseline appointment and were randomized to one of the three groups. Physical function was assessed using, the Hip Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (HOOS, Swedish version L.K 1.1), an observational assessment of movements the Body Awareness Scale Movement Quality (BAS MQ) and the Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT). For assessment of HRQL the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used. The Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) records the patient's self-reported judgment of what he/she can do regardless of the degree of functional limitations or skill. Six months after the final intervention all subjects were examined and assessed following the same procedure as at baseline. The 12 months follow-up contained the three questionnaires, HOOS, ASES and SF- 36 were sent out by mail. The results showed significant improvement in physical function and self-efficacy within the interventions groups Tai Chi and Hip School. The Tai Chi showed improvement in BAS MQ, focusing on body awareness and quality of movements, and in self-efficacy between baseline and 6- month follow-up. The Hip School group showed significant improvement in BAS MQ between baseline and 6-month follow-up.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

After an advertisement in a local paper, over 300 volunteers applied to participate in the study. All 300 received information about the study by mail or telephone. One hundred volunteers fulfilled the inclusion criteria: X-ray-verified hip OA, 40-75 years of age, no walking aid and no joint replacements in the hips or knees. Each individual had to specify at which hospital and when they had been X-rayed and/or received their diagnosis. A total of 89 subjects attended the baseline appointment and were randomized to one of the three groups. The randomization procedure, in blocks of 15, was generated by a computer-based system

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hip School

The participants in the Hip School were required to attend three 1.5 hour classes which were conducted by specially trained physiotherapists in premise at Lund University.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Hip school or Tai CHi for arthritis

Intervention Type OTHER

Eighty-nine individuals were randomized to one of the three intervention groups 30 individuals to Tai Chi,30 individuals to Hip School and 29 individuals to the control group

Tai Chi for arthritis (TCA)

The treatment intervention with TCA was scheduled in a group setting. Class size for Tai Chi groups was 8- 10 individuals. The group was led by a physiotherapist, specially trained in the concept, in premise at Lund University. The participants in the Tai Chi group were required to attend classes for 12-16 one- hour sessions, twice a week for the first four weeks and then once a week.
