TREATMENT CHOICES FOR HIP OSTEOARTHRITIS
A Shared Decision-Making Program
This educational DVD is designed to equip both patients and healthcare providers with comprehensive, clear, and trustworthy information regarding the various treatment options available for hip osteoarthritis (OA). Hip osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease that can severely impact mobility and quality of life, making informed treatment decisions crucial.
Features include:
Overview of hip osteoarthritis causes and symptoms: The program explains the underlying mechanisms that cause hip OA, such as cartilage deterioration, joint inflammation, and changes in the surrounding bone. It also highlights common symptoms including chronic pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and difficulty performing everyday activities like walking and climbing stairs.
Comparison of different treatment options including medication, physical therapy, and surgery: Treatment choices are explored in depth, highlighting their benefits, risks, and suitability depending on disease stage and individual patient factors. Medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), analgesics, and corticosteroid injections are discussed for pain management. Physical therapy approaches focus on muscle strengthening, joint stabilization, and improving flexibility. For patients with advanced OA, surgical options including hip resurfacing and total hip replacement are reviewed, with explanations of recovery times, expected outcomes, and potential complications.
Guidance for shared decision-making between patient and provider: The program emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach where patients actively participate in choosing treatments that align with their preferences, lifestyle, and goals. It offers tools and conversation frameworks to empower patients to ask pertinent questions, weigh the pros and cons, and feel confident in their healthcare choices.
Real-life patient stories to illustrate treatment experiences: Personal narratives provide valuable insights into the everyday impact of hip osteoarthritis and the varied responses to different therapies. These stories help patients relate to others’ challenges and successes, providing motivation and reassurance during their own treatment journey.
Produced by the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making and Health Dialog, this 44-minute program is carefully crafted to support high-quality, patient-centered care. By enhancing knowledge and encouraging open communication, it aims to ensure that patients with hip osteoarthritis make informed choices that best suit their individual needs, ultimately improving treatment satisfaction and health outcomes.
Additional information highlighted in the program includes:
Risk Factors and Prevention: Explanation of lifestyle risk factors such as obesity, repetitive joint stress, previous injuries, and genetics that may contribute to the development of hip OA. Strategies for prevention through weight management, regular low-impact exercise, and protective joint care are also discussed.
Alternative and Complementary Therapies: An overview of options like acupuncture, dietary supplements (e.g., glucosamine and chondroitin), and mind-body techniques that some patients explore for symptom relief, including evidence supporting their use and cautions.
Long-Term Management: Guidance on establishing sustainable routines for pain control and maintaining joint function over time, including the importance of regular medical follow-up, adapting treatment plans, and maintaining physical activity to prevent further degeneration.
Psychosocial Support: Recognition of the emotional and psychological impact of chronic pain and reduced mobility, underscoring resources such as support groups, counseling, and educational workshops to enhance coping skills and overall well-being.
Overall, this program serves as an invaluable resource to foster an informed relationship between the patient and healthcare provider, ultimately improving outcomes in the management of hip osteoarthritis.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
