Progressive Resistance Training or Neuromuscular Exercise for Hip Osteoarthritis
acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

Is progressive resistance exercise more effective than neuromuscular exercise in improving pain, function and quality of life in patients with hip #osteoarthritis ?
The short answer is NO.
Great work by Troels Kjeldsen et al published in Annals of Int Med here acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

New study finds no superiority between progressive resistance training & NEMEX for hip OA patients. Both equally improve functional performance, pain, & quality of life: ow.ly/Oqvr50Rf6SL

Is progressive resistance training superior to neuromuscular exercise for hip osteoarthritis?

We thought so when initiating this trial from which results have just been published in Annals of Int Med

It turned out that the effects are very similar.

The more clinicians I talk to, the more they confirm that the belief that exercise 'wears down the knee cartilage' exists.

Well, it seems it DOES NOT harm knee cartilage.

Still a long way to go to debunk this myth!

Do you need to lift heavy weights to improve outcomes in hip osteoarthritis?

Happy to present preliminary findings from our trial at the Annual research meeting for Dept. of clinical medicine. Manuscript underway.

No evidence that individual tailoring or targeting adherence in exercise, are more effective than usual physical therapist-led care for pain and physical function in adults with knee OA

The loss of muscle mass/strength assoc with aging/deconditioning/recovery can be dramatic.
Moving is important... but so is pushing/pulling/lifting
'heavy' things on occasion.
Sarcopenia should be a four-letter word!

OK: 1. Research on treatments should follow a pathway. It’s meant to begin with efficacy “can it work?” along with mechanistic studies on “how does it work?”. Once efficacy has been established, it’s time to move on to effectiveness “does it work for in the intended population”?

Several shared pathways that are affected during #osteoarthritis in cartilage and meniscus and support the role of mechanotransduction and other pathways in OA pathogenesis 🐭
