This study focus on investigating the link between hip muscle cross-sectional area and hip pain and function in community-based people suffering from with hip osteoarthritis, OA (mild to moderate).
This cross-sectional study provide the basis for improving the hip OA management at an
early stage. As found, greater CSA of
hip adductors was associated with better functional outcomes in those with
mild-to-moderate hip OA portraying a significant and consistent association for
hip adductors, i.e. adductor longus and magnus.
This study focus on investigating the link between hip
muscle cross-sectional area and hip pain and function in community-based people
suffering from with hip osteoarthritis, OA (mild to moderate).
The cross-sectional area (CSA) of hip muscles, comprising of
psoas major, rectus femoris, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and minimus,
adductor longus and magnus, obturator internus, and obturator externus, were
measured from magnetic resonance images were evaluated of 27 patients (63.2 (SD
7.6) years; 18 females) with hip OA. Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome
Score (HOOS) was used to examine the hip pain and function. This score was
further divided into 5 subscales as; 1. pain, 2. symptoms, 3. activity of daily
living, 4. sport and recreation function, and 5. hip-related quality of life,
QoL (for each subscale: 0 equals to extreme problems and 100 equals to no
problems).
Greater CSA of adductor longus and magnus
was linked with a higher HOOS score in QoL (regression coefficient 1.4, 95%
confidence interval (CI) 0.2–2.7, p = 0.02), activity of daily
living (regression coefficient 1.3, 95% CI 0.1–2.6, p = 0.04) and
sport and recreation function (regression coefficient 1.6, 95% CI
0.1–3.0, p = 0.04) after attuning for age and gender. A link between
greater CSA of psoas major and a higher QoL score (regression coefficient 3.6,
95% CI − 0.5 to 7.7, p = 0.08) was also found. There was no
significant link concerning CSA of hip muscles and HOOS pain or symptom score.
To conclude, greater
CSA of hip adductors and hip flexors was linked with better function plus QoL
and better QoL alone, respectively in people with hip OA (mild-to-moderate).
