Summary

The origin of knee osteoarthritis is multifactorial but the disease is strongly related to age. The pain and functional disability are the main reasons for consultation. Non-pharmaceutical treatment is always indicated.

The rehabilitation will reduce the pain, maintain or partially recover the amplitude of the movements as well as fight against vicious analgesic attitudes and strengthen the muscles to stabilize the joints. A program of self-rehabilitation exercises performed at home may be prescribed to people with knee osteoarthritis. It must include exercises adapted to the patient's functional abilities and painful level and requires education to improve the patient's motivation to practice a regular exercise program. However, adherence to such exercises is low, and until 2016 there was no objective way to find out the reasons for patients' lack of adherence to self-workout programs. The EARS ("Exercise Adherence Rating Scale" or Adhesion to Physical Exercise Programs) is validated in 2016 and reliable to evaluate the physical activity of patients with low back pain.

As far as we know, this questionnaire is the only one validated in the international literature, a validation for French patients is currently underway. We believe this tool can be used for patients with knee osteoarthritis after minor changes.
