Effect of a thin customized insole on pain and walking ability in rheumatoid arthritis: A randomized study
ConclusionsThe use of thin, easily customizable insoles resulted in immediate clinically relevant relief in walking‐induced forefoot pain. Most of the patients were still using the insoles after 1 year. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Ultrasonography ‐detected subclinical inflammation in patients with hand osteoarthritis and established rheumatoid arthritis: a comparison between two different pathologies using the same ultrasound examination protocol
ConclusionsOur study findings reflected differences between the incidence and characteristics of subclinical inflammation in patients with RA and OA, which could be helpful in patients with an equivocal clinical examination or history of both diseases. Almost one in 10 patients with hand OA had active synovitis, while almost one in two patients with RA had uncontrolled inflammation in at least one joint. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Cardiovascular risk management in rheumatoid arthritis: A large gap to close
ConclusionThere is marked underdiagnosis and undertreatment of cardiac risk in RA. Several major barriers exist, including lack of time. Most rheumatologists feel that this aspect of care is the responsibility of primary care physicians. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Changes in disability in older adults with generalized radiographic osteoarthritis: A complex relationship with physical activity
ConclusionsThis was the first study to report that community‐dwelling older adults with GROA show moderate levels of disability, and that reduced levels of disability are associated with higher levels of PA, but when adjusted for other confounders this association is lost. Further research is needed to study the complex relationships between PA and other determinants of disability. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Aerobic and resistance exercise in systemic sclerosis: State of the art
ConclusionsPatients with SSc without pulmonary involvement can be recommended to be as physically active as the general population. Patients with mild pulmonary involvement can be recommended to be physically active by engaging in exercises of moderate intensity and to participate in moderate‐load resistance exercises. Health professionals should inform patients with SSc about the importance of physical activity and avoidance of a sedentary lifestyle. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Exercise for chronic musculoskeletal pain: A biopsychosocial approach
Abstract
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) refers to ongoing pain felt in the bones, joints and tissues of the body that persists longer than 3 months. For these conditions, it is widely accepted that secondary pathologies or the consequences of persistent pain, including fear of movement, pain catastrophizing, anxiety and nervous system sensitization appear to be the main contributors to pain and disability. While exercise is a primary treatment modality for CMP, the intent is often to improve physical function with less attention to secondary pathologies. Exercise interventions for CMP which address secondary pathologi...

A UK national survey of care pathways and support offered to patients receiving revision surgery for prosthetic joint infection in the highest volume NHS orthopaedic centres
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that future development of interventions should focus on more inclusive and patient‐centred multidisciplinary approaches to care. Such interventions could more completely address psychological and social as well as physical aspects of patients' recovery. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Rehabilitation of revision total hip replacement: A multi ‐centre survey of current practice
ConclusionsThis survey adds to sparse information about rehabilitation RTHR. No consensus emerged about optimal rehabilitation. The diversity in approach and lack of clear structure suggests work is needed to develop rehabilitation interventions that are tailored to this population. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Self ‐reported use of natural health products among rheumatology patients: A cross‐sectional survey
ConclusionsOur study confirms the frequent use of selected NHPs, possibly to mitigate persistent symptoms of rheumatologic illness. Rheumatologists appear to be trusted sources of advice and recommendations on NHP use and should provide balanced counselling for their patients. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Animated Activity Questionnaire (AAQ), a new method of self ‐reporting activity limitations in patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis: Comparisons with observation by spouses for construct validity
ConclusionsThe construct validity of the AAQ was supported by a high correlation between patients' and spouses' scores. Our hypothesis that spouses are less influenced by patients' subjective frame of reference in responding to self‐report questionnaires may not be correct. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)

Are fear of movement, self ‐efficacy beliefs and fear of falling associated with levels of disability in people with osteoarthritis of the knee? A cross sectional study
DiscussionThe current findings suggested that cognitive and falls‐related factors are not significantly related to disability in patients with OAK. By contrast, pain and stiffness were strongly associated with disability. This suggests that targeting cognitive and falls‐related factors is unlikely significantly to improve outcome in these patients. (Source: Musculoskeletal Care)
