Summary

This study is designed to determine the effect of a cycling training program which modulates frontal and sagittal plane knee joint loading with graded increases of Q-Factor and cycling workrate in persons with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Q-Factor Intervention

The intervention period will consist of 12 training sessions across four consecutive weeks, with three training sessions held per week. If pain is not increased or reduced and Rating of Perceived Exertion is ≤12, the participant will progress to the next bout. If pain is increased from the pre-bout pain score, participants will repeat the bout, at the same workrate and Q-Factor settings. Following this fashion, participants will progress through three increasing Q-Factors for each given workrate; Q-Factor 1 (Q1, 192mm), Q2 (234mm), Q3 (276mm). After completing bouts of all three Q-Factors for a given workrate, workrate will be increased by 20 Watts and bouts at each Q-Factor will be repeated. For each training session, participants will complete bouts of cycling until 1) the maximum number of bouts (4 bouts) has been accomplished, 2) self-reported Rating of Perceived Exertion \>12, indicating a transition to moderate physical activity, or 3) self-reported pain \>5.
