Effect of Physical Therapy on Pain and Function in Patients With Hip
OsteoarthritisA Randomized Clinical Trial

Hip osteoarthritis
• Guideline
– for symptomatic hip osteoarthritis
• conservative non-pharmacological physiotherapy
• irrespective of severity, pain levels, and functional
status
Introduction
OARSI recommendations for the management of hip and knee osteoarthritisOsteoarthritis Cartilage. 2010;18(4):476-499.

Design
• A randomized, participant- and assessor
blinded, parallel-group, placebo-controlled
trial
Methods
8
Participants
• Inclusion
– ≧50 y/o
– hip osteoarthritis confirmed by radiograph#
– hip pain for ≧3 months
– average pain intensity in past week ≧40/100mm
(VAS)
– moderate difficulty with daily activities
Methods
# The American College of Rheumatology criteria for the classification and reporting of osteoarthritis of the hip. Arthritis Rheum. 1991;34(5):505-514.

– Physical therapy, chiropractic treatment in
past 6 mo
– Hip surgery in past 6 mo or waiting list for hip
surgery

No additional benefits
• Both groups showed significant
improvements in pain and function following
treatment.
Discussion
35
Exercise & manual therapy
• Two randomized controlled trials in hip OA
– combining exercise and manual therapy
• does not confer additional benefits
• may have an adverse interaction effect
Discussion

36
Strength
• minimized potential for bias
– a credible sham treatment
– concealing treatment allocation
– blinding (participants, assessor, biostatistician)
Discussion
37
Limitation
• lack of therapist blinding
• the absence of more blinding than expected
at the final follow-up assessment
• not all participants adhered fully to treatment
Discussion
38
Limitation
• the results cannot necessarily be generalized
– to different physical therapy programs
– to cohorts of younger patients
– to those with milder symptoms
Discussion
