Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) occurs when the cartilage between two bones becomes worn down, and the bones begin to rub against each other in the joint. This often leads to pain, swelling, decreased joint motion, and the formation of bone spurs (tiny growths of new bone). Being overweight increases the risk of developing OA and fastens disease progression. This study will evaluate two different programs, lifestyle behavioral weight management and pain-coping skills training, in reducing the effects of knee OA in obese individuals.

Conditions
