Summary

This is a study based on a cohort in a register of patients enrolled in a digital osteoarthritis self-management program, Joint Academy. The purpose of this study is to examine joint pain and the potential change of this pain, in patients with long-term adherence to a digital self-management program for individuals with knee- and hip osteoarthritis. The hypothesis, based on preliminary findings is that pain levels of those adhering to the program, decreases over time. To test the hypothesis, participants weekly pain report will be investigated whilst adhering to the digital program for 6- to 12 months, and statistically tests will be performed to find out whether significant differences can be seen over time.
