Foot Kinematics and Foot Center of Pressure and Their Association with Medial Knee Load Reduction with Use of Flexible Shoes in Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Biomechanical treatments for medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) often target the knee adduction moment (KAM). Foot-mediated biomechanical interventions for knee OA may operate through altering…Abstract Number: 2391 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Hip Osteoarthritis As the Cause for Knee Osteoarthritis in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Hip Osteoarthritis as the cause for Knee Osteoarthritis in the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study Background/Purpose: While the hip and knee are linked biomechanically, there have been…Abstract Number: 2392 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Vibration Perception Threshold and Hip Osteoarthritis in Multicenter Ostoearthritis Study
Vibration Perception Threshold and Hip Osteoarthritis in Multicenter Ostoearthritis StudyBackground/Purpose: It is hypothesized that reduced sense of position in space leading to increased impact force…Abstract Number: 2393 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Validation of a Web-Based Overlay for Sectoral Scoring of Active Lesions on MRI in Hip Osteoarthritis: Femoral Bone Marrow Lesions Predict Response to Intra-Articular Hyaluronate
Background/Purpose: Bone marrow lesions (BML) and synovitis are MRI features that have been associated with symptoms and disease progression in patients with osteoarthritis. The Hip…Abstract Number: 2394 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
B-Flow Imaging of Synovial Tissue in Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Development of disease modifying medication for osteoarthritis (OA) is desirable, but the target tissue of such treatment remains unclear. We have previously shown that…Abstract Number: 2395 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Predictors of and Longitudinal Factors Associated with Change in Pain, Stiffness and Physical Function over 8 Years in a Midlife Cohort with a Low Prevalence of Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal condition affecting quality of life and was one of the leading causes of the years lived…Abstract Number: 2396 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Absence of Symptom in Subjects with Advanced Knee OA
Background/Purpose: Although osteoarthritis(OA) is predominantly considered as a disease of cartilage, articular cartilage is an aneural tissue, and there is a consensus that the association…Abstract Number: 2397 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Detection of Changes in the Serum and Synovial Fluid Levels of Resistin during Flare Ups and Remissions in Primary Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Resistin is a secreted factor that is elevated following traumatic joint injury, causing matrix degradation and it releases inflammatory cytokines from articular cartilage in…Abstract Number: 2398 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Microrna Biomarker Signature in Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Our current understanding of osteoarthritis (OA) comes mainly from late stage disease and this is partly due to when patients present with symptoms. It…Abstract Number: 2399 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Baseline Fibulin3 Concentrations Are Associated with Incidence of Clinical Knee OA after 30 Months in Overweight and Obese Women
Background/Purpose: Fibulin3 is highly expressed in osteoarthritic cartilage and inhibits angiogenesis and chondrocyte differentiation. It has been demonstrated to interact with the tissue inhibitor of…Abstract Number: 2400 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Serum Urate and Osteoarthritis Progression in a Non-Obese Cohort
Background/Purpose: We recently reported an association between gout and osteoarthritis (OA) presence and severity, and a possible association between hyperuricemia and OA severity (Howard et…Abstract Number: 2401 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Identification and Characterization of Two Osteoarthritis Phenotypes Applying Two Clinically Tested Biomarkers
Background/Purpose: The osteoarthritis (OA) population is heterogeneous and it is therefore difficult to target all patients with the same intervention. Thus there is a clinical…Abstract Number: 2402 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Synovitis on MRI and Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis Patients with and without Chondrocalcinosis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)
Background/Purpose: CPPD crystals are frequently deposited in the fibrocartilage of the meniscus and detected radiographically as linear calcification, termed chondrocalcinosis (CC). Several studies have found…Abstract Number: 2403 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Quadriceps Muscle Weakness and the Risk of Knee Cartilage Loss on MRI in a Population-Based Cohort with Knee Pain
Background/Purpose: The objective of the study was to determine whether clinically assessed baseline quadriceps weakness predicts cartilage loss on MRI after 3 years. Methods: Subjects…Abstract Number: 2404 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Implications of a Positive Patellar Bulge Sign of Knee Joint Effusion in Patients with Osteoarthritis: Association with MRI Signs of Inflammation and with Increased Rate of 5-Year Total Knee Arthroplasty. Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Most of our understanding of the clinical significance of a knee joint effusion is derived from trauma in young patients, with surprisingly little assessment…
