Osteoarthritis (OA) patients with chronic knee pain often exhibit guarded movement. Financial support and coping strategies significantly impact functional limitations in OA patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pain Management
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent condition causing chronic knee pain and functional impairment.
  • Behavioral factors play a crucial role in how patients experience and manage OA pain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze pain behaviors and functional impairments in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.
  • To identify predictors of functional impairment in OA patients.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized behavioral assessment techniques on 87 OA patients with chronic knee pain.
  • Assessed pain behavior via standard observation and functional impairment using the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales.
  • Employed predictive analyses to identify factors influencing functional impairment.

Main Results:

  • Pain and limitations in physical activities were the most common functional impairments.
  • Guarded movement was the most frequently observed pain behavior.
  • Disability support status and Pain Control and Rational Thinking scores (Coping Strategies Questionnaire) predicted functional impairment.

Conclusions:

  • Patients receiving disability support showed greater functional limitations.
  • Higher scores on the Pain Control and Rational Thinking factor correlated with less functional impairment and improved mobility.
  • Findings suggest behavioral interventions can effectively manage OA knee pain and improve function.
