CLINICAL GUIDELINES FOR REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH HIP AND KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS. (English)

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and osteoarthritis of the knee are one of the most common chronic diseases. In elderly people, OA is the most common cause of disability, including pain and limitations of activities and participation. The exact cause of OA is unknown, but there are a number of known risk factors. There were a number of recommendations published in past decade, but the two most recent are from 2012 from The European League against Rheumatism and American College of Rheumatology. These recommendations include non-pharmacological and pharmacological recommendations for the treatment of OA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artroza kolka in artroza kolena sta eni izmed najpogostejših kroničnih obolenj. Pri starejših je artroza najpogostejši vzrok za zmanjšane zmožnosti, vključno z bolečino in omejitvami pri dejavnostih in sodelovanju. Natančen vzrok za nastanek artroze ni znan, poznamo pa številne dejavnike tveganja. Za zdravljenje artroze kolka in kolena obstajajo številna priporočila, nazadnje so bila izdana priporočila leta 2012, in sicer Evropske lige proti revmatizmu (EULAR) ter Ameriškega kolidža za revmatologijo (ACR). Ta priporočila se nanašajo predvsem na nefarmakološko in farmakološko zdravljenje artroz. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
