Abstract

Background: Our aim was to determine the predictive factors of the level of physical activity (PA) in patients with gonarthrosis in the city of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study based on clinical records, conducted from January 9 to 27, 2023. Using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), we assessed the level of PA in patients followed at CHU-Bogodogo for gonarthrosis. The significance threshold p<0.05 was retained. Results: Sixty-seven patients were included. Fifty-six were women (83.58%). The mean age was 59.87± 12.53 years. Hypertension was noted in 34 patients (50.75%), diabetes in 16 (23.88%). The mean BMI was 28.70kg/m2± 6.73. Gonarthrosis was bilateral in 49 patients (73.13%). Gonarthrosis patients had a moderate level of PA, with a mean IPAQ score equal to 635.24±135 MET-minutes/week. 45 patients (67.16%) had a low level of physical activity (Ë‚ 600 MET-minutes/week). In bivariate analysis, low PA was associated with age over 65 [OR=5.62, (CI=1.45-21.73), p<0.001], hypertension [OR=2.83, (CI=1.27-6.31), p<0.001], diabetes [OR=2.14, (CI=1.13-5.89), p<0.031], and overweight [OR=2.43, (CI=1.17-6.12), p<0.026]. Moderate PA was associated with age under 65 [OR=1.71, (CI=1.25-2.34), p<0.005] and absence of hypertension [OR=1.86, (CI=1.19-2.89), p<0.012]. Conclusion : Gonarthrosis patients have a moderate level of PA. Factors associated with low PA were advanced age and sedentary comorbidities.

Abstract

Background: Exercise training is recommended for patients with chronic low back pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise training in patients with chronic low back pain by indirect measurement of VO2max. Patients and methods: This was an experimental cohort study involving 92 patients with chronic low back pain over a two-month period from 5 December 2023 to 5 February 2024. The patients underwent a four-week exercise training programme. Results: The mean age of the patients was 49.37±12.72 years, with extremes of 26 and 70 years. There was a significant improvement in VAS pain intensity (m before=66.6 ± 1.4 ; m after =12 ± 10.9 p=0.0000) and also a significant improvement in VO2 max (m before=25.87 ± 10.15 m after = 28.25 ± 10.64 p= 0.000). The risk factors associated with low VO2max were age over 60 (p=0.000; RR=3), obesity (p=0.0002; RR=2.41) and sedentary lifestyle (p=0.0008; RR=8.39). Conclusion: Indirect measurement of VO2max is effective for evaluating exercise training in patients with chronic low back pain. Our experimental exercise training protocol resulted in a significant improvement in patients' pain and VO2max.
