#GraphicalAbstract - New study buff.ly/hgkEAbv by @cunninghamjoice has compared changes in health outcomes following an 8-week GLA:D® programme for knee or hip osteoarthritis. Would you expect a difference between those with single vs multi-site pain? @helfrench @PhysioSania @Dorte_Groenne @ewa_roos @clo2me @STSkou

Our MOBILIZE trial @NatureMedicine 🙌
Exercise therapy and self-management support are more effective than usual care alone in improving HRQoL at 12 months in adults with #multimorbidity, without compromising safety.

📣 Exercise (mostly) does not wear down your knee joint!
Our #Commentary looks the myths & realities associated with exercise therapy and #knee joint #health
Read and consider sharing with patients (and maybe stubborn relatives 😉)

Just published!
Work led by Dr @belinda_lawford shows that having an x-ray to diagnose knee arthritis might make you more likely to consider potentially unnecessary surgery

@FOF_research news this week:
Athletes most commonly used analgesics to treat pain/injury after sports participation (62 %), and paracetamol was most frequently used (84 %). Injury severity was associated with increased odds and rate of analgesic use: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3920…
To better engage men, future programs should include a clear description of the concept of the exercise, high-intensity exercise, a reduced emphasis on social activities, and consistency in the instructors' roles and guidance: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3976…
In 2024, methodological advances were made that could help to guide users to choose more appropriate and robust MIC estimates to interpret OA study results, and help in presenting treatment alternatives to patients with OA:

🆕1 in 4 patients with knee osteoarthritis participating in exercise therapy had a previous knee joint surgery.
🆕Patients with previous knee surgery can expect clinical outcomes similar to patients without prior knee joint surgery.

🦵 Despite better baseline health status, early-stage KOA patients achieved similar sized important improvements following edu and exercise compared to established KOA! First large study (N = 10.365) to compare.

At #BASEM2024 looking forward to presenting on non-surgical treatment of ACL injury. Morning surprise when pulling the curtain in my hotel room, difficult to be closer to the Coventry pitch!

Exercise first is the way to go. Exercise therapy is more effective than we think it can be. Unfortunately, surgery is not as good as we would like it to be. For example, at least 20% experience chronic knee pain after total knee replacement. Try exercise first.
🚨OUT TODAY, OPEN ACCESS🚨
Structured education and exercise therapy is COST-EFFECTIVE in delaying/avoiding joint replacements in those with lower pain levels (??? low-value), saving the health system $100M annually!!!

Best way to prevent osteoarthritis is to prevent knee injuries from happening. Pleasure to work w @LiveSL and the HAPPY team to reduce knee injuries!
Whats important for players, coaches, admin and health staff in handball for a successful injury prevention? 🤾♀️
