Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the link between knee pain (KP) and low-back pain (LBP) in older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and how these conditions affect their physical activity levels.
- Researchers analyzed data from 126 adults with knee OA, measuring their physical activity intensity and sedentary behaviors using accelerometers alongside self-reported pain levels.
- Results showed that participants with both bilateral knee pain and low-back pain exhibited higher levels of sedentary behavior and lower levels of low physical activity compared to those with only unilateral knee pain.
Objectives: Prolonged sedentary behavior (SB) may affect clinical improvements following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We aim to assess preoperative SB effect on improvements in clinical outcomes after TKA. We hypothesized that patients with high proportion of preoperative SB have small improvements in clinical outcomes after TKA.
