NCT03973463

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of obesity on knee degenerative arthritis on body composition after dietary control and elastic resistance exercise; and whether persistent exercise habits and dietary control can relieve pain and strengthen muscle strength. Improve the quality of life and the decline of other risk factors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • WOMAC

    WOMAC is used to measure the patient's home knee function. Each question is scored using a five-point scale. The higher the score, the worse the knee function. This study assessed the amount of change in WOMAC scores, whether it was lower than baseline after 12 weeks.

    Baseline and after 3 months

  • KOOS

    KOOS is based on WOMAC and covers a wider range. The score of each topic is 0-4 points. The higher the score after the conversion formula, the better the knee joint function. This study assessed changes in KOOS scores, whether it was higher than baseline after 12 weeks.

    Baseline and after 3 months

  • Body fat percentage

    Assess the amount of body fat (%) change, whether it can be less than baseline after 12 weeks

    Baseline and after 3 months

  • Body Mass Index

    Assess the amount of Body Mass Index(kg/m\^2) change, whether it can be less than baseline after 12 weeks

    Baseline and after 3 months

  • waistline

    Waist circumference change from baseline to 12 weeks (cm)

    Baseline and after 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • hand grip force measurement

    Baseline and 3 months

  • 2.44m time up to go

    Baseline and 3 months

  • 30 chair stand test

    Baseline and 3 months

  • total cholesterol

    Baseline and 3 months

  • Low-density cholesterol

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

You may qualify if:

  • Cases of knee joint degeneration diagnosed by orthopedics, rheumatology and immunology physicians.
  • X-ray interpretation (kellgren \& Lawrence grade) grades 1 to 3 or mild to moderate patients.
  • Willing to sign written consent form.
  • Pain Index (VAS) ≧ 4/10.
  • Men and women over the age of 55.
  • Body mass index (BMI) ≧ 27 kg/m\^2.

You may not qualify if:

  • Unable to act on your own.
  • X-ray interpretation (kellgren \& Lawrence level) is greater than level 3 or is a serious level.
  • Patients who have undergone knee arthroplasty on one or both feet.
  • Patients with terminal liver and kidney disease.
  • Those who are unable to perform physical function measurement after severe diagnosis of heart and lung disease after diagnosis by the physician.
  • High blood pressure with poor control (systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 180 mmHg at the time of return).
  • Pregnant women or breastfeeding women.
  • Those who have coronary stents, cardiac rhythms, or other metallic substances in the body are not recommended for total body composition analysis.
  • Those with severe hip, knee, and lower back pain who are unable to perform exercise, other neuromuscular, skeletal joints, or rheumatic diseases may be exacerbated by exercise. Or those who have musculoskeletal injuries in the past six months (such as bruises, fractures, etc.).
  • Unable to cooperate with the test or halfway through the test.
