Summary

Exercise is effective at reducing pain while improving physical function. However we do not know if exercise can boost resilience in the workplace, to allow people with osteoarthritis to work as long as they desire. Previous research shows that exercise holds the most promise for helping people enjoy their work because it reduces sick time, reduces pain, and improves productivity. However, little work has examined the effect of exercise for people with arthritis in the workplace. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether exercise improves resilience in the workplace, mobility, fitness, strength, and pain in comparison to no exercise in those with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee
  • Osteoarthritis, Hip

Interventions

Exercise

A biomechanical exercise program shown to decrease joint loading was administered 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Outcomes included mobility performance; pain; strength; cardiovascular fitness; and resilience.

OTHER

No Exercise

A no exercise (control) group maintained their existing activity level for 12 weeks. Outcomes included mobility performance; pain; strength; cardiovascular fitness; and resilience.
