Research from R. Juhakoski and co-researchers in the area of hip osteoarthritis described.
In this recent study, researchers in Mikkeli, Finland conducted a study "To determine the factors associated with self-reported pain and physical function in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA). Cross-sectional study. Rehabilitation clinic in a Finnish hospital."
"Participants with hip OA (N= 118; 35 men, 83 women; age, 66.7 +/- 6.5y; range, 55-80y). Not applicable. Self-reported pain and self-reported disease-specific physical function were recorded by using the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. Self-reported generic physical function was analyzed by using the Finnish version of the RAND 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey. As listed in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model, the effects of personal factors (age, sex, education, depression, life satisfaction, smoking, years of sporting activities), pathophysiologic factors (radiologic score of hip OA, body mass index [BMI], comorbidities, duration of knee pain) and body functions and structures (measurement of leg extensor power, passive internal rotation and flexion of the hip joint, the six-minute walk test [6MWT], Timed Up & Go [TUG] test, ten-meter walk test, sock test) were analyzed. The educational level (r=-.264, P
The researchers concluded: "Factors explaining disability and pain in hip OA are multidimensional and no single predicting factor was found to be superior to any other."
Juhakoski and colleagues published their study in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Factors affecting self-reported pain and physical function in patients with hip osteoarthritis. Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2008;89(6):1066-1073).
