Summary

The current study is a two-arm randomized controlled clinical trial to test the feasibility of recruiting, randomizing, and having older adults with osteoarthritis (OA) adhere to and safely complete the 8-week Sit 'N' Fit Chair Yoga program and the HEP program (primary objective). Secondary objectives of the study were to determine the effect of the Sit 'N' Fit Chair Yoga Program to reduce levels of pain; improve physical function, psychosocial function, and life satisfaction in adults over 65 years of age who were unable to participate in standing exercise. Participants at two sites were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (Sit 'N' Fit Chair Yoga) or attention control group (Health Education Program). Data collectors were blinded to group assignments. Data were collected prior to the intervention (baseline), after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Follow-up data were collected after 1 month and after 3 months after completion of the intervention to measure the extent to which effects of the intervention continue. Evaluations were include physical measures and self-report measures.
