Caitlin has had extesnsive experience in the physiotherapy world and discusses all things knee OA, specifically on physiotherapy principles and how and EP can integrate effectively into the care of the patient. A great multidisciplinary discussion! 

Show notes: 

- What is Knee OA?

o Knee OA is a progressive multifactorial degenerative joint disease involving the articular surface of the joint

§ progressive loss of articular cartilage

o There are 4 stages

§ early, mild, moderate, severe

o 3 key areas in the knee

§ tibiofemoral medial compartment

§ lateral compartment

§ patellofemoral compartment

- Prevalence:

o 653.1 million >40 y.o with knee OA worldwide (2020).

o 73% of those with OA >55 y.o, 60% female

o Knee most frequently affected, followed by hands and hip

o 16% >15 year old

o 22.9 %> 40 y.o

- Risk factors:

o Previous trauma/Surgery

o Obesity

o Female gender

o Laxity

- Diagnosis:

o Individualised subjective and objective assessment

§ Consideration of history, symptoms, other health conditions, physical assessment, functional levels

o Symptoms

§ Persistent knee pain, limited morning stiffness and reduced function

o Signs

§ Crepitus, restricted movement and bone enlargement

o When all 6 signs/symptoms present – 99% accuracy in diagnosis

o No imaging required – diagnosis can occur on assessment alone

o Imaging considered for other alternate diagnosis as clinically indicated

§ Considering insufficiency fracture, avascular necrosis, inflammatory

o Impact on function

§ WOMAC, KOOS o Osteoarthritis Knee clinical care standard

- Treatment pathways for knee OA – Surakanti et al 2023

o Conservative

§ Education

· Including pain management (Lesmond et al 2023)

§ Weight loss and exercise

§ Medication

· Research supports Exercise> NSAIDS

o However need to consider if patient having an acute painful flair – is medication required to maintain exercise levels Thorlund et al 2022

§ Individualised program

· Considering other comorbidities. Activity levels, goals

§ Physiotherapy/EP

· Promoting restoration/maintaining movement

· Identification of contributing factors

o Adding hip strengthening to quads exercises improves patient reported pain and function: Ref: Hislop et al 2020

o Unilateral OA: hip add is lower affected side, hip strength is lower bilaterally, dynamic balance lower bilaterally, patient reported pain associated with knee ext strength but not hip strength/dynamic balance: Ref: Hislop et al 2022 § GLAD program - Good Life with OsteoArthritis: Denmark Ewa Roos

· 2-3 patient education sessions and 12 supervised exercise sessions over 8 weeks

o Improved pain and objective outcome measures

§ Roos et al 2021

· Need to consider this is a group exercise program – it is better than nothing but we need to have individualised programs ideally

o Injections

§ Cortisone, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma

· Need to consider limitations – chondrotoxicity resulting in increased cartilage damage, increased risk of infection if injection 3/12 prior to surgery (Wernecke et al 2015)

o Surgical

§ Total knee arthroplasty

§ Uni-compartmental: unicompartment knee arthroplasty, High tibial osteotomy · McCormack et al 2021

§ Less likely to see arthroscopy’s

- Criteria for Surgery – Hawker et al 2023

o Considers the need, readiness/willingness, expectations and health status.

§ Do not want to wait until extended period of being inactive with reduced quads and gluteal function.

o Need

§ Evidence of knee OA on clinical and radiographic examination

§ Reports knee OA symptoms impacting on quality of life

· WOMAC, KOOS, 4 item arthritis coping efficacy Scale

§ Adequate trial of non-surgical OA treatment

· Exercise, physiotherapy, weight loss, medications, injections

o Readiness/willingness

o Patient expectations – Quote Quentin.

o Health status

- Realistic improvements – Quote Dr Quentin Scott – Specialist MSK Physiotherapist

o 3 months before you are starting to do well

o 6 months before you are pleased you did it

o 9-12 months before you have forgotten about it

o Key is individual – everyone will respond differently depending on reason for surgery, prehab

o Post operative response can be affected by prehab: ROM, quads fn, understanding of initial rehab process

- How long should we approach conservative treatment

o No hard and fast rule

§ Individualised

§ Targeting limitations

§ Understanding comorbidities

o Surgical techniques and replacement technology has improved § 82% TKR last >25 years (Evans et al 2019) § 3.9% require revision within 10 years, 10.3 within 20 years (Bayliss et al 2017)

§ Age matter: >70 y.o 5% likely to require second replacement, 50 y.o men – 35% require second replacement (Bayliss et al 2017)

- What assessments should we do, measures, goals

o Baseline strengthening and loading

§ VALD

o Balance

o Range of Movement o Consider regarding exercise – Lawford et al 2022

§ Easily accessible

§ High quality

§ Develop by and for consumers

§ Different ways to deliver information

§ Different types of resources for self management

§ Resources on exercises and how to perform them/progress

§ Support motivation and track progress

§ Include options

§ Facilitate access to support

- What's a physio's and EPs role in rehab

o Physiotherapist:

§ Diagnosis, movement impairment identification, specific exercise prescription, manual therapy, education

o EP

§ Exercise prescription and modification, education, o Therapeutic exercise recommendations (Holden et al 2022)

§ Use evidence based approach

§ Consider exercise in context of living with OA and pain

§ Comprehensive baseline assessment with follow up

· Reported difficulties, physical limitations, functional restrictions, impact on participation, psychosocial factors

· Red flags, contraindication to exercise

· Overall health (comorbidities) and exercise precautions

· Baseline measurements and targets

§ Set goals

§ Consider type of exercise, dose, modification and progression

§ Individualise exercise

§ Optimise delivery of exercise and adherence

§ Education OA and role of exercise

Myth:

- Osteoarthritis is painful

o Not all osteoarthritis is painful – many show changes on imaging without pain or significant movement limitations

- Weights and running will make it worse

o Evidence indicates otherwise – positive outcome

§ Consideration regarding training into pain – exercises should not be painful and increase symptoms associated with OA

- I need an X-ray to confirm osteoarthritis

o Consider signs and symptoms as a diagnosis

In recent years, Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training has been a popular research topic, especially in hypertrophy. This is due to the theory that mechanically occluding blood flow can induce similar physiological outcomes to traditional strength training whilst only requiring low weights.  

In this podcast Dan and Cam talk about the theory and mechanisms of BFR training and how we can adapt the use to different populations. In particular, the populations who are restricted in their capacity to load due to specific joints due to pain.  

Cam talks through how he used blood flood flow restriction with a client that was unable to complete heavier style strength training due to osteoarthritic changes in his knee. We delve into the rationale, application, considerations and outcomes that Cam and his client faced through their rehabilitation journey.

If you haven't heard already, Australian Physiotherapy Association have released a statement differentiating what a Physiotherapy does and what an Exercise Physiologist does. This statement was produced without collaboration from our governing body, ESSA which has lead to misleading information about the scope of practice for an AEPs. 

Dan and Ash discuss the key points from the statement and highlight how this can impact the public's understanding of each profession's scope of practice; the growth of the EP profession itself; and the physio and AEP allied health collaboration that already strongly exists.

Episode notes: 

Our EP’s specialising in Neurological conditions, Jacqui and Mackenzie, sit down to discuss the physiology behind exercise and neuroplasticity, and how we can manipulate training protocols to enhance rehabilitation outcomes and motor performance for clients living with neurological conditions.

They review recent evidence for optimising exercise volume and intensity to maximise changes in circulating neurochemicals contributing to neural health and function. In particular, they discuss brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key protein contributing to neural development and improved motor performance in individuals with neurological conditions.

• Overweight individuals without metabolic conditions tended to utilize fat quite well 
• Therefore utilisng generic exercise and diet guidelines may not be optimal for all overweight individuals

Helping clients manage Chronic Pain requires adaptability; having multiple tools in your EP toolkit and knowing which one to select for the person, situation or phase of treatment. This explanation still draws on the theoretical background of the bio-psycho-social factors that can cause and exacerbate Chronic Pain, but offers an alternative for clients to conceptualise it. 

From reassuring parents that he won't stunt their child's growth, to being a central manager for athletes with multiple coaches, Cam paints a picture of the future he'd love to see and how EP's and SnC coaches can best serve youth athletes for longevity and high performance. 

This is the first episode in a series that will follow Josh and other 2020 Graduates throughout their first year practising as Exercise Physiologists. There'll be lots of mistakes, learning and laughs in casual, relatable conversations about life as new grad.

Chronic Pain can be complicated, but it's the perfect condition to demonstrate the importance of movement as medicine and the role of an Exercise Physiologist. There are many approaches to treating pain and although Chronic Pain has received a lot of attention in recent years, it’s still not easy to navigate. Dan breaks down some of the theory and education he uses to help clients as starting point for EP’s that are new to Pain Science or searching for better ways to help their clients manage Chronic Pain.
