From: Vitality and the course of limitations in activities in osteoarthritis of the hip or knee

 

Factors associated with worsening of performance based limitations in activities*

Knee OA

• Decreased muscle strength hip abduction at one-year follow-up

• Higher morbidity count

Hip OA

• Higher ROM hip flexion

• Higher morbidity count; or the presence of moderate or more -to-severe cardiac and EENT disease

• Older age

  1. *In this table, all prognostic factors are included that were found to be significant in the multivariate regression analyses.
  2. OA: osteoarthritis; ROM: active assisted range of motion; EENT disease: ear-eye-nose-throat-larynx disease.
