Introduction:
Our understanding of the etiology and management of knee osteoarthritis is quickly evolving. This informative and engaging session will debunk several knee osteoarthritis myths, provide clinicians with a better understanding of the complex etiology of knee osteoarthritis, and provide an update of the evidence-based recommendations from several international guidelines on the conservative management of knee osteoarthritis.
Relevance to Physiotherapy Practice:
There is a strong push towards evidence-based practice in physiotherapy. A number of international guidelines (OARSI, EULAR, NICE and ACR) providing evidence-based recommendations on the conservative management of knee osteoarthritis are currently available to clinicians. However, current research indicates that clinical practice does not reflect these recommendations. Evidence-based guidelines have the potential to improve the quality of care provided by clinicians by promoting the use of effective interventions and discouraging unnecessary and ineffective interventions. Consequently, there is a need for better dissemination of international guideline recommendations for the conservative management of knee osteoarthritis in order to ensure optimum guideline adherence.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain a better understanding of the complex etiology of knee osteoarthritis, and identify important risk factors contributing to disease initiation and progression.
- Understand and integrate current recommendations from international guidelines regarding best practice in the conservative management of knee osteoarthritis.
Poll Questions:
- Knee osteoarthritis is about to wear and tear (Yes/No)
- Knee osteoarthritis is a disease of the elderly (Yes/No)
- The clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis can be made without a radiograph (Yes/No)
- Individuals with more severe osteoarthritis report higher levels of pain (Yes/No)
- Loading is bad for the knee (Yes/No)
