Trajectories of Extensive Sitting and Associated Predictors in Persons at High Risk for Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Too much sitting has been recognized as a major public health issue. However, it is unknown if distinctive patterns of extensive sitting over time…Abstract Number: 2943 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Helping a Non-Urban Community Walk with Ease: A Feasibility Pilot Study of an Arthritis Activity Intervention
Background/Purpose: An estimated 54 million US adults have arthritis, and more than half are not receiving the recommended physical activity (MMWR, 2018). Walk With Ease…Abstract Number: 315 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Efficacy of a Wearable-Enabled Physical Activity Counselling Program for People with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Current guidelines emphasize an active lifestyle in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), but up to 90% of OA patients are inactive. Several modifiable…Abstract Number: 2194 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship between the Number of Prescription Medications and Physical Activity Amongst Patients with or at High Risk for Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Physical activity amongst individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been linked to improved pain, functional status, and less disability. It is important to understand…Abstract Number: 2767 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Active Yet Sedentary: The Association of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Incident Functional Limitation in Knee OA
Background/Purpose: Engaging in adequate levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) reduces the risk of functional limitation in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Sedentary…Abstract Number: 2770 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Using Fitbits. Fitabase®, and Remote Coaching to Increase Physical Activity in Employees with Knee Osteoarthritis Symptoms
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects approximately 6% of adults and is a leading cause of disability among U.S. adults. Physical activity (PA) is known to…Abstract Number: 2835 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
5-Year Evolution Patterns of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior of Patients with Symptomatic Hip and/or Knee Osteoarthritis, and Their Sociodemographic and Clinical Correlates
Background/Purpose: Regular Physical Activity (PA) at a moderate level of intensity for approximately 2.5 hours per week is recommended in the management of hip and/or…Abstract Number: 2184 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evidence Based Physical Activity Threshold to Predict Improved/High Function in Older Adults with Lower Extremity Conditions: The Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Physical activity guidelines for adults stipulate at least 150 minutes/week moderate-to-vigorous (MV) intensity physical activity acquired in bouts lasting 10 minutes or more…Abstract Number: 2197 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Objectively Measured Physical Activity Among People with Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis with the General US Population
Background/Purpose: People with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are thought to be less physically active than those without OA. This includes time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA),…Abstract Number: 2341 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prediction of Triaxial Accelerometer Counts from Unaxial Acceleromenter Counts Among Adults with or at Risk for Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Physical activity monitoring studies in rheumatology initially used uniaxial accelerometers. But advanced triaxial accelerometry technology replaced uniaxial accelerometers. Uniaxial devices measure accelerations in one…Abstract Number: 3057 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Risk of Knee Osteoarthritis: The Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Regular physical activity (PA) reduces risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and premature death. Moreover, PA can counteract the reduction in fitness, muscular strength,…
