ABSTRACT

Osteoarthritis is the most frequent rheumatic disease seen in clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a Rehabilitation program and glucosamine by means of a function assessment using the WOMAC scale. Two balanced, randomized groups were put together: Group A with glucosamine and Group B with placebo. Both implemented an exercise program. Subjects answered the functional WOMAC scale questionnaire in the beginning, at two months, and at the end of the study. The average age in Group A was 57.6 years and in Group B, 53.0 years (p = 0.02). Baseline values in both groups were the same for all 3 variants analyzed (pain, rigidity and difficulty) with a total p = 0.98. Three age subgroups were created for a better observation of the results. Both treatments are beneficial to handle knee osteoarthritis. Both groups showed functional improvement. Age subgroups showed that the older the age, the better the response to treatment with glucosamine as shown on a reduced WOMAC scale score.
