Basic Body Awareness Therapy versus standard care in hip osteoarthritis. A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Compensational movement patterns in hip osteoarthritis (HOA) are associated with hip dysfunction. Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) promotes functional movement quality and might, accordingly, be beneficial in HOA.

Objective: To examine the outcomes of BBAT compared to standard care in people with HOA after first receiving patient education (PE).

Movement quality evaluation and its correlation with recommended functional measures in hip osteoarthritis.

Objective: Hip osteoarthritis may cause compensational movement strategies that require extra physical and mental effort. Such aberrant functioning can be captured in movement quality evaluation. The objective of this study was to explore whether movement quality, evaluated as a multiperspective phenomenon, is reflected in commonly used and recommended functional measures in this group of patients.

Descriptions of movement experiences in the Body Awareness Rating Scale - Movement Quality and Experience evaluation. A qualitative study of patients diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis.

: Patients' access to movement experiences is implemented in the evaluation tool Body Awareness Rating Scale - Movement Quality and Experience, with its two intertwined parts: 1) the physiotherapist's observations of movement quality; and 2) the patient's descriptions of immediate movement experiences.: To study movement experiences and reflections described by patients diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis when guided to explore simple daily-life movements in this particular evaluation context.: An explorative qualitative study with open-ended questions following each of the 12 movements integrated into the evaluation.

Patient education and basic body awareness therapy in hip osteoarthritis - a qualitative study of patients' movement learning experiences.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with pain, dysfunction and reduced quality of life. Patient education (PE) followed by 12 weekly sessions of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) was offered to patients with hip OA, aiming to strengthen their ability to move and act functionally in daily life.

Aim: To explore how patients described their experiences and outcome from participating in PE and BBAT.
