Q

Example of muscle strengthening ex for hip OA

A

-Standing : hip extension, abduction, flexion, hamstring curls
-Supine : bridging
-Side lying : clam
- W/ or w/o support : Squat, Sit-to-stand, heel raises

17
Q

In which side of the knee is OA more frequent?

A

In the medial compartment

18
Q

Main risk factors for Knee OA

A
  1. Trauma
  2. Obesity
  3. Impaired muscled function
19
Q

Clinical signs & symptoms of knee OA

A
  • Persist knee pain, worst w/ activities & relieving w/ rest
  • AM stiffness
  • Possible joint effusion
  • Loss of knee ROM
  • difficulty in functional activities (STS- walking..)
    X-ray indicates joint space narrowing/&/or osteophytes
20
Q

What exercise or PA is recommended in management of knee OA?

A
  • Tai chi
  • Yoga
  • Cycling
  • Walking
  • Aquatic ex
  • Strength training
  • Neuromuscular training
21
Q

Knee OA common muscle strengthening exercises

A
  • Straight leg raise
  • Squats
  • STS
  • Knee extension from sitting (using elastic band) -> Quadriceps
  • Knee flexion (up, supine..) -> Hamstrings
22
Q

How many repetitions for muscle strengthening in knee OA exercise?

A

Dépends on each patient, ask patients to try until it gets too difficult, monitor quality of their mvt, stop if they are not doing the mvt correctly anymore

23
Q

NEMEX program

A

→ Neuromuscular training programme for severe hip or knee OA
1. Warm up (cycle ergo meter)
2. Circuit program :
Type -> -Core stability/ postural function
- Postural orientation
- Lower extremity muscle strength (OKC & CKC ex)
Time -> 1 or 2 ex for each circle, 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps
-> 3 levels of difficulty
3.Cool down

24
Q

What’s the difference between NEMEX & common strength training programs?

A

Core stability > no WTB ex
Lower extremity muscle strength > isolated muscle training
FUnctional WTB ex > some multiple joint WTB ex
Quality > quantity

25
Q

Signs & symptoms of Hand OA

A
  • Deep aching pain usually at base of thumb
  • Stiffness
  • Swelling
  • Deformities (Bouchard’s nodes, Hebeden’s node)
  • Difficulties w/ ADLS -> weak grip & reduced pinch strength
26
Q

Risk factors in hand OA

A
  • Female gender
  • Aging -> After menopause
27
Q

What are the goal of hand OA exercises?

A
  • Maximizing a stable & pain-free functional ROM of the finger joints
  • Incr. functional strength
  • Maintaining joint stability
  • Preventing or delaying the dvlp of fixed deformities
28
Q

Exemples of hand OA exercises

A
  • Making a hook fist
  • Making a full fist
  • Wrist extension & flexion
  • Thumb flexion, ADD, ABD, opposition
  • Finger ABD, ADD
  • Forearm supination
  • also incorporate ex for shoulder girdle & upper arm

Hand OA dosage exercise

A

3x/week
1 set of 10 reps for 1-7 ex -> for 2 weeks
Incr. reps to 15 over the next 10 weeks
Moderate intensity, gradually incr bad resistance over time
