About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Knee Osteoarthritis focused on measuring Knee Osteoarthritis, Electromyography, Muscle Activity, Resistance Training

Eligibility Criteria

55 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • men and women above 55 years old.
  • diagnosed with severe knee osteoarthritis.
  • scheduled for unilateral TKA surgery in a local hospital during 2021- 2022.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • pain in the contralateral limb (maximum pain, ≥80 of 100 mm on a VAS during daily activities).
  • another hip or knee joint replacement in the previous year.
  • any medical condition in which exercise was contraindicated.
  • participated in exercise programs (>2 days/week, training at intensities of 10-15RM) in the 6 months prior to the study.
  • history of stroke, brain surgery, major depression, or any self-perceived cognitive alterations that could affect the performance of dual tasks.

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Regular Task

Dual Task

Arm Description

Knee extensions.

Knee extensions while also doing a self-regulated mathematical dual-task.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Self-reported pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Scale 0-10)
Change from baseline to the end of the session, and the change between the dual-task and the regular condition.
Pressure pain thresholds
Change from baseline to the end of the session, and the change between the dual-task and the regular condition.
HDsEMG
Change from baseline to the end of the session, and the change between the dual-task and the regular condition.
Performance
Maximum number of exercise repetitions performed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK 11)
Its score range is 11-44, with higher scores reflecting worse condition.
Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)
People are asked to indicate the degree to which they have certain thoughts and feelings when they are experiencing pain using the 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time) scale. A total score is yielded (ranging from 0-52), along with three subscale scores assessing rumination, magnification and helplessness, with higher scores reflecting worse condition.
Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale (CPSS)
The Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale (CPSS) is designed to measure chronic pain patients' perceived self-efficacy to cope with the consequences of chronic pain. The CPSS measures three domains of pain self-efficacy: pain management, physical functioning, and coping with symptoms. A total score is yielded (ranging from 220-2200), with higher scores reflecting a better condition.
WOMAC questionaire for patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis.
The WOMAC is a disease-specific self-administered questionnaire for patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. It has a multidimensional scale made up of 24 items grouped into three dimensions: pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items) and physical function (17 items). For each item, it uses a Likert scale with five response levels, representing different degrees of intensity (none, mild, moderate, severe or extreme) that are scored from 0 to 4. The final score for the WOMAC is determined by adding the aggregate scores for pain, stiffness and function. The higher the score, the worse the patient's condition.
Heart Rate
Change from baseline to the end of the session, and the change between the dual-task and the regular condition.
Perceived difficulty of the dual-task.
Based on an 11-point numerical rating scale.
