Summary

Due to enforced social distancing as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, many on-site health care services are unavailable. This study seeks to investigate the relative effectiveness of an alternative on-line delivery model of exercise and education compared to on-site delivery in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

On-line exercise and education

Exercise: Exercise is performed twice weekly for 6 weeks. Each exercise session lasts approximately 60 min. and consists of three parts; warm-up (10 min.), neuromuscular exercises (40 min.), and cool-down/stretching (10 min.). The neuromuscular exercises include exercises for core stability, postural orientation, function and leg muscle strength. Exercises are performed in 2-3 sets with 10-15 repetitions with three levels of difficulty described. The exercises follow the standardized GLA:D exercise protocol. Patients are instructed in how to use alternative equipment at home for each exercise if necessary prior to the first on-line exercise session. Education: Patients attend two to three on-line educational sessions at the start of each GLA:D program. The educational sessions focus on disease-management and self-help strategies, including OA disease features and symptoms, treatment options, and exercise and physical activity as treatment.
