The primary aim of my PhD was to compare the effects of progressive resistance training (PRT) and neuromuscular exercise (NEMEX) on physical function, pain and hip-related quality of life in people with hip osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, I sought to examine the relationship between changes in leg extensor muscle power and improvements in physical function, while also exploring predictive factors for better clinical outcomes following these exercise interventions. Hip OA is a leading cause of disability, and exercise is widely recommended as the first-line treatment to improve pain and physical function.1 However, the optimal type of exercise for hip OA remains unclear.2 Neuromuscular exercise, focusing on improving movement quality through exercises that resemble daily life activities, is widely implemented in clinical practice in Denmark and other countries.3 However, it has never been compared with another type of exercise for hip OA. Interestingly, muscle size, strength and power are markedly hampered …

运动作为髋骨关节炎的药物：运动类型、肌肉力量和预测因素的研究（博士学院奖）


我攻读博士学位的主要目的是比较渐进式阻力训练 （PRT） 和神经肌肉运动 （NEMEX） 对髋关节骨关节炎 （OA） 患者身体机能、疼痛和髋关节相关生活质量的影响。此外，我试图检查腿部伸肌力量变化与身体机能改善之间的关系，同时还探索了这些运动干预后获得更好临床结果的预测因素。髋关节 OA 是导致残疾的主要原因，运动被广泛推荐作为改善疼痛和身体机能的一线治疗方法。1 然而，髋关节 OA 的最佳运动类型仍不清楚。2 神经肌肉运动，侧重于通过类似于日常生活活动的锻炼来改善运动质量，在丹麦和其他国家/地区的临床实践中得到广泛实施。3 然而， 它从未与另一种髋关节 OA 运动进行比较。有趣的是，肌肉大小、力量和爆发力都受到了明显的阻碍......
