More focus in both knees treatment when painful occur, not only the painful itself
The topic of this finding is not first time explored as previously had seen the implications of function related to 2 painful knees.
However, with this finding researcher give more focus if the pain differs independent function of knee pain severity.
Based on enrolled data of 2069 participants which 26% had low physical functioning at baseline in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis (MOST) from May 2003 to March 2005 with follow-up assessments 30 months later, find that treatment should be focused on both knees if painful, and not only treatment to improve painful knee and expect function.
Dr. White said, “many questions remain to be addressed to unravel the complexity between pain and functioning. We are currently investigating how central sensitization of pain and psycosocial factors may influence changes in function in persons with knee pain and older adults.”
