Summary:Purpose Since destabilizing changes occur in thumb Carpometacarpal (CMC) Osteoarthritis (OA), reeducating and strengthening the stabilizing muscles are believed to be critical. Backwards stepwise mixed effects linear modeling analysis to test research question on predictive factors. β, standardized β, and the coefficient of determination were calculated. Significant predictors of percent change in NRS Pain scores were Eaton OA stage, affected hand (bilateral vs. unilateral), and the presence of a metabolic condition (Diabetes, Thyroid Disorders).
