Influence of Self-efficacy on Strength and Physical Function among Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Cross-sectional Study
Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis affects the elderly, potentially leading to disability, with varying symptoms and fatigue. The hip and knee joints experience discomfort, stiffness, reduced mobility, and depression. Muscle weakness, linked to lower limb atrophy, heightens the risk of falls. Sel...

| description | Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis affects the elderly, potentially
leading to disability, with varying symptoms and fatigue. The
hip and knee joints experience discomfort, stiffness, reduced
mobility, and depression. Muscle weakness, linked to lower
limb atrophy, heightens the risk of falls. Self-efficacy, which is
confidence in performing tasks despite discomfort, impacts
knee strength and function. Factors such as age, education,
depression, and physical decline shape self-efficacy. However,
the impact of self-efficacy on osteoarthritis health outcomes is
unclear due to reduced activity levels. The present study aims
to explore the influence of self-efficacy on knee osteoarthritis
function and strength.
Aim: To identify the influence of self-efficacy on physical function
and muscle strength in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted
in Department of Physiotheraphy with 73 participants who met
the inclusion criteria. The study took place between October
2022 and April 2023, spanning a period of six months, at KS
Hegde Charitable Hospital in Mangaluru, Karnataka, India.
Hip-knee muscle strength was measured using a push-pull
dynamometer, physical function was assessed using the Timed
Up and Go (TUG) test, and self-efficacy was evaluated using the
Arthritis Self-efficacy Scale-8. All tests were performed once on
the same day, with a five-minute rest between each test. Withingroup differences were identified using an Independent T-test,
and between-group analysis was conducted using Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA).
Results: The mean age of the participants was 60.2±6.5 years,
and the Basal Metabolic Index (BMI) was 25.2±2.0 kg/m2
. A
statistically significant difference with a p-value of 0.001 was
observed in hip abductor, knee flexor, knee extensor, and TUG
tests between the high and low self-efficacy grades. The time
taken for the TUG test also showed significance with a p-value
of 0.001. Individuals with high levels of self-efficacy had better
scores in physical function as well as muscle strength. No
association was found between self-efficacy and KL grading.
Conclusion: Participants with higher self-efficacy demonstrated
good muscle strength in the hip muscles and good physical
function. The study concluded that individuals with high selfefficacy grades had better muscle strength and mobility compared
to those with low scores in both strength and mobility. |
