  • Evidence based rehabilitation in knee arthrosis = Z dokazi podprta rehabilitacija pri artrozi kolena
    Akyuz, Gulseren
    Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is one of the five leading causes of disability among elderly men and women. The risk for disability from OA of the knee is as great as that from cardiovascular ... disease. It usually occurs in knees that have experienced trauma, infection, or injury. The incidence of knee OA is high throughout the world. At . 25 years of age, there were about 21 million cases of OA in 1995 and 27 million in 2008. The incidence of symptomatic knee OA is 1% per year, with a radiographic incidence of 2% per year. The exact causes of OA are unknown, but there are a number of known risk factors, such as aging, heredity, weight, repetitive overuse, and crystal deposits. Knee OA is common in individuals who play intense physical sports, such as football. Previous injury to the knee is a strong indicator for development of OA in the future. There are many treatment algorythms in OA; the most commonly used one is OARSI guideline. The goals of 2008 OARSI treatment guideline are: reducing joint pain and stiffness, maintaining and improving joint mobility, reducing physical disability and handicap, improving health-related quality of life, limiting the progression of joint damage, and educating patients about the nature of the disorder and its management. The general recommendation is that optimal treatment is provided by combining non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment. The most recent guideline was reported by ACR in 2010. It includes pharmacological and nonpharmacological recommendations, which are similar to the OARSI recommendations. Treatment of knee OA should be planned according to treatment guidelines, but it should not be forgotten to individualize the treatment for the patient. For evidence based rehabilitation, more studies about physical agents are necessary.
