Summary

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic conditions and a leading cause of disability among Veterans. Although exercise is known to improve pain, physical abilities, and other outcomes for patients who have knee OA, most individuals with this condition are physically inactive. Therefore there is a need to develop programs that will help Veterans and others with knee OA to increase activity levels. This study will examine a stepped approach to helping Veterans with knee OA to increase physical activity, with increasing levels of program intensity when needed for individual patients to meaningfully improve pain and physical function.
