Trial Description
Title
Pilot study to evaluate a joint stress test to induce joint discomfort in healthy subjects with activity-related joint discomfort – a prospective 3-arm study with healthy subjects and subjects with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis as control group
Trial Acronym
BTS1100/17
URL of the Trial
Brief Summary in Lay Language
The aim of this study is to develop a joint function test that will allow selection of healthy subjects who have activity related joint discomfort. For this purpose, 3 groups will be examined: healthy subjects, healthy subjects with activity related joint discomfort, and osteoarthritis subjects. As endpoints parameters like repetition until occurrence of a defined discomfort / pain, flexibility, and discomfort after burden will be evaluated at defined time points. To test reliability the test will be repeated after 14 days
Brief Summary in Scientific Language
A 3-arm pilot study will investigate the suitability and reliability of a joint function test. For this purpose, 3 groups will be examined: healthy subjects, healthy subjects with activity related joint discomfort, and osteoarthritis subjects.The joint function test will be done at baseline and at day 14 to confirm test-retest reliability.

Interventions/Observational Groups
- Healthy subjects performing the joint function test for a maximum of 10 minutes or reaching joint discomfort of at least 5 on a 11-point Liker scale. The test will be performed at screening , visit 1 and visit 2 with two weeks between the tests. At visit 1 and 2, endpoints will be assessed at defined time points over a time interval of 24h (see secondary endpoints).
- Healthy subjects with activity-related join discomfort performing the joint function test for a maximum of 10 min or until reaching joint discomfort of at least 5 on a 11-point Liker scale. The test will be performed at screening, visit 1 and visit 2 with two weeks between the tests. At visit 1 and 2, endpoints will be assessed at defined time points over a time interval of 24h (see secondary endpoints).
- Patients with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis performing the joint function test for a maximum of 10 minutes or reaching joint discomfort of at least 5 on a 11-point Liker scale. The test will be performed at screening, visit 1 and visit 2 with two weeks between the tests. At visit 1 and 2, endpoints will be assessed at defined time points over a time interval of 24h (see secondary endpoints).

Primary Outcome
Pilot study to identify test parameters that will allow for evaluation of healthy subjects with activity related joint discomfort. Parameters to be tested are listed in the secondary outcome tab.
Secondary Outcome

- Acute knee joint discomfort (at rest and after single-leg squat) (pre, 0h, 30min, 2h, 4h, 6h, 12h, 24h post)
- Maximum deterioration range of motion (passive and active)
- Maximum deterioration Reach test
- Maximum acute knee joint discomfort (at rest and after a single-leg squat)
- Time to first onset of pain while performing the joint function test
- Time to reach 5 on Likert scale or time to exhaustion while performing the joint function test
- Complete time of joint stress test
-Time to complete relief of pain post-completion of joint function test (only healthy and ArJD)
- Maximal pain while performing the joint stress test
