We aimed to evaluate the associations between knee muscle strength (MS) and falls, controlling for knee joint proprioception, varus-valgus knee joint laxity, and knee pain, among patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) reporting knee instability.
A sample of 301 subjects (203 women, 98 men, 35-82 yrs) with established knee OA and self-reported knee instability was studied. The occurrence of at least 1 fall in the previous 3 months was assessed by questionnaire. Maximum knee extension and flexion strength were measured isokinetically. Additionally, proprioception, varus-valgus laxity, and pain were assessed. Student t tests were used to assess differences between subgroups. The association of muscle strength and falls was calculated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Over 10% of the subjects (31 out of 301) reported a fall in the previous 3 months. High knee extension muscle strength (crude OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.8, p = 0.022) and high knee flexion muscle strength (crude OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.0-1.0, p = 0.048) were associated with a lower risk of falls. Proprioception and laxity did not confound this relationship. After adjusting for pain, extensor strength had an adjusted OR of 0.5 (95% CI 0.2-1.4, p = 0.212) for falls and flexor strength had an adjusted OR of 0.4 (95% CI 0.1-2.3, p = 0.312).
High knee extension and flexion muscle strength decreased the risk of falls in patients with knee OA and self-reported knee instability. After considering the effect of pain, there was insufficient statistical power to detect an association between muscle strength and falls, which might be because of the low number of subjects who fell (n = 31).
我们旨在评估膝关节骨关节炎(OA)且自述膝关节不稳定的患者中,膝关节肌肉力量(MS)与跌倒之间的关联,并对膝关节本体感觉、膝内翻-膝外翻关节松弛度和膝关节疼痛进行控制。
对301名确诊为膝关节OA且自述膝关节不稳定的受试者(203名女性,98名男性,年龄35 - 82岁)进行了研究。通过问卷调查评估过去3个月内至少发生1次跌倒的情况。等速测量膝关节最大伸展和屈曲力量。此外,还评估了本体感觉、膝内翻-膝外翻松弛度和疼痛情况。采用学生t检验评估亚组间差异。使用单因素和多因素逻辑回归分析计算肌肉力量与跌倒之间的关联。
超过10%的受试者(301名中的31名)报告在过去3个月内有跌倒经历。较高的膝关节伸展肌肉力量(粗比值比0.3,95%置信区间0.1 - 0.8,p = 0.022)和较高的膝关节屈曲肌肉力量(粗比值比0.2,95%置信区间0.0 - 1.0,p = 0.048)与较低的跌倒风险相关。本体感觉和松弛度并未混淆这种关系。在对疼痛进行调整后,伸展肌力量对跌倒的调整比值比为0.5(95%置信区间0.2 - 1.4,p = 0.212),屈曲肌力量对跌倒的调整比值比为0.4(95%置信区间0.1 - 2.3,p = 0.312)。
较高的膝关节伸展和屈曲肌肉力量可降低膝关节OA且自述膝关节不稳定患者的跌倒风险。在考虑疼痛的影响后,没有足够的统计效力来检测肌肉力量与跌倒之间的关联,这可能是因为跌倒的受试者数量较少(n = 31)。
