Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cardiometabolic disease risk and time spent in device-measured activity behaviours in a cohort of people with advanced osteoarthritis (OA) awaiting joint replacement surgery.
Materials And Methods: Cardiometabolic risk biomarkers were assessed in people with OA ( = 96; hip = 38, knee = 58; mean (SD) age = 64.3 (9.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between changes in physical activity (sitting, standing, stepping) and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) in individuals undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- Results showed significant improvements in pain and knee function scores post-surgery, with increases in walking and daily steps, but no significant changes in sitting or standing times.
- Importantly, the improvements in self-reported outcomes were not linked to changes in objective measures of activity, indicating a disconnect between subjective experiences and measured activity levels.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to objectively measure the changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior in patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis, using accelerometers over a period of time.
- It found that after surgery, patients reduced their sedentary time and increased light physical activity within six months, while their scores for physical function and range of motion significantly improved.
- The research highlights the value of using accelerometers to assess these behavioral changes and better understand patient outcomes following knee surgery.*
