Article Synopsis
- * A systematic search identified 17 relevant studies involving 384 procedures, showing mostly positive outcomes in pain relief and satisfaction, but also frequent adverse effects.
- * Overall, the evidence for surgical denervation remains inconclusive due to bias and variability in study quality, highlighting the need for standardized approaches and more rigorous research comparison.
Purpose: To assess frequently asked questions (FAQs) about mobility devices among older adults.
Materials And Methods: We searched multiple terms on Google to find FAQs. Rothwell's classification, JAMA benchmark criteria, and Brief DISCERN were used to categorize and assess each entry.
Background: In treatment of personality disorders, wellbeing is complementary to a focus on reducing symptoms. It is known that symptoms are being reduced and relate to the development of characteristics of personality pathology (schemamodes).
Aim: To answer the questions: how does wellbeing develop and how is this development related to the development of schemamodes?
Method: A naturalistic, prospective, within subjects design was used in the Boerhaven Clinic of Mediant.
Background: To evaluate the effect of a stand-alone mobile and web-based educational intervention (eHealth tool) compared to usual preparation of a first orthopedic consultation of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) on patients' satisfaction.
Methods: A two-armed randomized controlled trial involving 286 patients with (suspicion of) hip or knee OA, randomly allocated to either receiving an educational eHealth tool to prepare their upcoming consultation (n = 144) or usual care (n = 142). Satisfaction with the consultation on three subscales (range 1-4) of the Consumer Quality Index (CQI - primary outcome) and knowledge (assessed using 22 statements on OA, range 0-22), treatment beliefs (assessed by the Treatment beliefs in OsteoArthritis questionnaire, range 1-5), assessment of patient's involvement in consultation by the surgeon (assessed on a 5-point Likert scale) and patient satisfaction with the outcome of the consultation (numeric rating scale), were assessed.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares physical activity levels in patients with various stages of knee or hip osteoarthritis and the general population.
- Data from four different studies involving people aged 50 and above were analyzed, using the SQUASH questionnaire to measure physical activity.
- Results showed that patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty engaged in significantly more moderate-intensity activity compared to those receiving secondary care, highlighting discrepancies in activity levels among OA patients.
