One leg testing in hip and knee osteoarthritis: A comparison with a two-leg oriented functional outcome measure and self-reported functional measures.

Objective: To compare the responsiveness of two unilateral lower-limb performance-based tests, the one-leg rise test and the maximal step-up test, with the bilateral 30-second chair-stand test and the self-reported measure of physical function (HOOS/KOOS). Specific aims were to evaluate responsiveness, floor/ceiling effect and association between the instruments.

Method: Data was included from 111 participants, mean age 61.

Follow-up of individualised physical activity on prescription and individualised advice in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis: A randomised controlled trial.

Objective: Compare the long-term effects of two different individualised physical activity interventions in hip or knee osteoarthritis patients.

Design: Randomised, assessor-blinded, controlled trial.

Setting: Primary care.

Physical activity on prescription in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To evaluate whether physical activity on prescription, comprising five sessions, was more effective in increasing physical activity than a one-hour advice session after six months.

Design: Randomized, assessor-blinded, controlled trial.

Setting: Primary care.
