original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effect of physical therapy on pain and function in patients with hip osteoarthritis: a randomized clinical trial
JAMA. 2014 May 21;311(19):1987-97. doi: 10.1001/jama.2014.4591102 patients with hip osteoarthritis were randomized to either an active or sham physical therapy program. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a multimodal physical therapy program. Patients performed 10 supervised sessions over 13 weeks under a physical therapist, and were to continue with home regimens for 6 months afterwards. The results demonstrated improvement in pain and function within both groups, although no significant differences between them. Of note, adverse events, although mild in severity, were more frequent in patients allocated to the active physical therapy program.
