What is the difference between Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Osteoarthritis (OA)

By Chelmsford Physio • September 24, 2025
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are two prevalent forms of arthritis, each with distinct pathophysiological mechanisms and implications for physiotherapy treatment. Understanding these differences is crucial for physiotherapists in developing effective treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs. Overview of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition characterised by chronic inflammation of the joints, which can lead to joint damage and systemic effects (Firestein et al., 2015). It typically presents symmetrically, affecting multiple joints, and is often accompanied by morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes (Scott et al., 2010). Patients with RA may also experience fatigue, fever, and malaise (Smolen et al., 2016). Osteoarthritis In contrast, osteoarthritis is primarily a degenerative joint disease resulting from wear and tear on the joints, leading to cartilage breakdown and changes in the underlying bone (D’Agostino et al., 2016). It commonly affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and spine, and is characterised by pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest (Kellgren & Lawrence, 1952).

The Impact of Plyometric Exercises on Running Performance

By Chelmsford Physio • September 10, 2025
Plyometric exercises, characterised by explosive movements that combine strength and speed, offer significant benefits to runners looking to enhance their performance. These exercises can improve running economy, speed, and overall athletic efficiency. This blog explores the mechanisms by which plyometrics enhance running performance and provides insights into effective training strategies. What Are Plyometric Exercises? Plyometric exercises involve rapid stretching and contracting of muscles, often referred to as the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC). This cycle consists of three phases: the eccentric phase, where the muscle is elongated; the amortisation phase, where the muscle transitions between lengthening and shortening; and the concentric phase, where the muscle contracts forcefully (Markovic & Mikulic, 2010). Examples of plyometric exercises include: Box jumps Drop jumps Bounding Jump squats Pogo Hops
