GLA:D for knee #osteoarthritis helps patients improve their walking ability 🇩🇰

[Alessio Bricca @a_bricca]

Walking is challenging for some patients with #osteoarthritis

Exercise therapy makes walking easier but be aware that those with severe difficulty walking and higher back and knee pain may need some extra support.

Please share with clinicians 🙏

In a matched sample of pts with knee OA, TKA was assoc with greater improvements in pain, function, and QoL, but findings also suggest that education + exercise may be a viable alternative to TKA in some patients, which may reduce overall TKA need

I am humbled and honored to have received the Knight's Cross of the Order of Dannebrog from Her Majesty Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark. I am also thankful to Margrethe's father, Frederik IX, who in 1951 decided that women could also be decorated.
