Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a pilot, double-blind, randomised trial that investigates which gait parameters are more sensitive following a single bolus injection of hyaluronic acid with mannitol, hyaluronic acid with sorbitol, or saline placebo for knee osteoarthritis. Outcome measures are gait analysis through a inertial sensors (Physilog), Knee Society Score (KSS), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity-scale and EuroQol 5Dimensions. Follow-up will be of 4 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Gait Speed [4 weeks following injection]

    measured over the 30m of the test trial using an inertial-based system (Physilog, BioAGM, CH) following a previously validated protocol. Spatiotemporal parameters are analysed (i.e. gait speed, cadence, limping...)

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. KSS specific knee mobility scale [4 weeks following injection]

    Knee specific clinician-based mobility scale based on clinical examination. Score interpretation: 80-100 Excellent, Score 70-79 Good, Score 60-69 Fair, score below 60 Poor.

  2. EuroQool -5 dimensions self-reported scale of quality of life [4 weeks following injection]

    The EQ-5D-5L essentially consists on the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system comprises 5dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression.Each dimension comprising the EQ-5D descriptive system is divided into 5levels of perceived problems:Level 1:no problem Level 2:slight problems Level 3: moderate problems Level 4:severe problems Level 5: extreme problems. A unique health state is defined by combining 1 level from each of the 5 dimensions.A total of 3125 possible health states is defined in this way. Each state is referred to in terms of a 5 digit code. The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a 20cm vertical visual analogue scale, where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflect the patient's own judgement.

  3. UCLA- activity scale [4 weeks following injection]

    Activity numerical ordinal scale ranging from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest)

  4. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain [4 weeks following injection]

    continual numerical scale (0-10), 0 the best score (no pain) and 10 the worst.
