Change in pain, stiffness, grip strength, disease activity and quality indicators will be assessed after 12 weeks.

e-self-management intervention

The app is developed based on a combination of behavioural change techniques informed by Social cognitive theory and the EULAR recommendations on management of hand osteoarthritis. The 12-week intervention consists of 25 short informational videos addressing the themes prioritized by the patient research partners. Additionally, the intervention includes a hand exercise program consisting of 8 videos providing instructions on warm up, exercises to improve mobility, strength and coordination, and a stretching exercise. The informational videos and exercise program are delivered in a progressive order across the 12 weeks. Encouragement and motivational messages are provided each week to enhance continued adherence to the intervention.
