Could Activity Modifications Indicate Physical Decline Among Adults With Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis?

Objectives: Mobility activity modifications indicate early functional losses that act as precursors to future declines among community-dwelling older adults. However, there is scarce evidence on whether activity modifications indicate poorer physical health among adults with symptomatic osteoarthritis, a major cause of disability. Our purpose was to investigate whether patient-reported mobility activity modifications indicated poorer physical health among adults with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Revisiting the status of oral health services in adult PM&R programs: a 40-year follow-up survey.

Purpose: This survey compared the status of oral health service access and needs for adult Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) patients over a 40-year period.

Methods: This report compares two surveys (1974 vs. 2014) of Directors of PM&R residency programs in the United States.
