Joint Action is a podcast hosted by David Hunter.As a consequence of isolation, those living with osteoarthritis related disability may become less fit, more depressed and anxious, more socially isolated and gain weight. It is critical at times like this that people with osteoarthritis have their burden and disability minimised and their knowledge of how to manage the disease enhanced.

Exercise and education are recommended treatments for knee osteoarthritis. To date, there have been over 100 clinical trials demonstrating the beneficial effects of exercise for knee osteoarthritis compared to no-treatment control groups. This has resulted in strong recommendations for exercise as a primary management strategy for knee OA. The comparison of exercise to a no-treatment control introduces multiple biases. One option to overcome this is to compare exercise to a placebo treatment such as

Exercise, physical activity and education are the cornerstone treatments for osteoarthritis. However, despite their proven efficacy, they are difficult to maintain long-term. Behaviour change techniques, which are specific techniques such as goal-setting or monitoring that can help people stick to an OA management plan long-term. On this week’s episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Dr Shannon Mihalko to discuss how we can use behaviour change techniques to stick to our diet and exercise

Living with a musculoskeletal condition such as arthritis is not easy. The associated symptoms such as pain and stiffness make everyday activities that once seemed easy, challenging. It is important that those living with arthritis are educated and empowered to make decisions about the management about their condition and healthcare. However, this is not always the case with studies showing that only one-third of patients seeking care for their osteoarthritis are satisfied with their treatment

The number of surgical procedures for musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoarthritis has increased exponentially over the past years, some of which are unnecessary and leave patients no better off than they were before. Knee replacement surgery can be a wonderful and cost-effective treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis but only when less invasive treatments have failed. There are many factors driving the alarming rates of increased surgery ranging from system-level factors such as inadequate

Although research has consistently demonstrated what is required to manage osteoarthritis appropriately, this is not the reality experienced by most. The current treatment for osteoarthritis is often reactive, using treatments which are not beneficial and often harmful and expensive to patients.The limitations in the current health system call for new models of osteoarthritis care to support ongoing symptom relief and self-management that are proactive and preventative.

2021/10/03

Biological markers or commonly referred to as biomarkers are biological measures or medical signs which can be measured accurately and reproducibly in patients. Examples of biomarkers can be anything from pulse and blood pressure to more complex blood tests and other tissues. There are different types of biomarkers including systemic and molecular biomarkers and the investigation of these provide potential targets for developing osteoarthritis disease-modifying drugs.On this episode of Joint Action,

Sleep disturbances are common in those with osteoarthritis. Research has postulated that poor night time sleep is associated with increased pain the following day and that sleep disturbances are associated with increased risk for developing or worsening pain in the long-term. The interactions between pain and sleep are complex. On this episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Peter Cistulli to discuss the relationship between sleep and pain and how we can improve sleep.

The prevalence of osteoarthritis continues to grow with the increasing rates of obesity. Obesity is a major risk factor for the progression of osteoarthritis and those who are obese are at an increased risk for requiring a total knee replacement.By preventing weight-related osteoarthritis as well as helping to manage people’s weight, we may be able to reduce the burden of OA. The effects of weight loss on knee osteoarthritis pain have been well established, however, is difficult to achieve for most

2021/08/22

Managing osteoarthritis pain remains a challenge for patients and clinicians. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used despite the potential risk associated with long-term use. In recent years, new advances have led to the exploration of central acting medications such as duloxetine for osteoarthritis pain. Despite this, those with OA continue to suffer from inadequate pain relief. By better understanding the pathways which influence pain, we may be able to better treat OA pain by

Despite the numerous guidelines supporting exercise and weight loss/management for osteoarthritis, they are challenging to implement in day-to-day life. Key actions for management are often not reaching health care providers and patients do not always receive high-value care. One of the biggest barriers to behaviour change is getting people to start and adhere to a lifestyle intervention. On a systems level, there are major challenges with access to care and communication regarding optimal care. On

2021/07/25

Physiotherapists play an important role in osteoarthritis management. A good physiotherapist can aid in the reduction of OA symptoms, however, one major ongoing issue is the problem of low-value healthcare. Low value healthcare are treatments which broadly encompasses passive modalities such as interferential current, ultrasound, unnecessary imaging in favour of high value treatments such as exercise. Low value care can lead to treatments that provide little to no benefit or even harm to patients.On

Osteoarthritis pain remains a large unmet clinical need. One common tool in the clinician’s armamentarium has been a steroid injection. They are widely used but recent evidence has questioned their efficacy for pain relief and potentially associated ongoing structural changes, including accelerating the underlying structural progression. On this episode of Joint Action, we will hear from Ali Guermazi and Margreet Kloppenburg about the harms and benefits of steroid injections for osteoarthritis. Dr

The way in which people talk about their osteoarthritis is varied and this is reflected in their attitudes towards health and healthcare. This provides great insight into what the condition means to patients but ultimately how they are able to cope and manage their symptoms. For example, using terms such as “wear and tear” or “worn out” often discourages patients to be actively involved in the management of their condition.

Osteoarthritis orthobiologics with Dr Brian Cole

Orthobiologics such as platelet-rich-plasma, and stem cells have gained popularity as treatments for knee osteoarthritis over recent years. Orthobiologics are cells, blood components or growth factors which claim to promote healing and decrease inflammation. Platelet rich plasma and stem cell injections are an expensive treatment and there is a paucity of rigorous evidence to support the use of them in people with OA.
