Summary

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a condition that causes joint pain and stiffness, making it hard for people to do everyday tasks. Movement pattern training is a special, personalized rehabilitation program that aims to reduce pain by improving how people move during their daily activities. The investigators plan to test if it's possible to conduct a detailed study to find out how effective Movement pattern training is for people with PMR. The investigators will look at whether it helps them perform activities they want to do, reduce their use of certain medications, and strengthen their muscles. The investigators will also gather feedback from patients about their experience with Movement pattern training. This study will help us understand if carrying out a larger study on Movement pattern training's effectiveness is practical.

Conditions

  • Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Movement Pattern Training (MoveTrain)

6 individualized treatment sessions over 10 weeks * Motivational interviewing to determine personal goals and strengthen motivation and commitment to change * Activity-specific training to practice modified motion during patient-specific tasks, defined as activities reported by each patient as pain-provoking * Home exercise program 3 times/week consisting of activities or exercises assigned in the supervised sessions * Patient's independence and adherence in performing home exercise program will be documented * Patients are encouraged to use modified motion during daily and physical activities * Based on patient performance, activity difficulty is progressed by increasing repetitions performed or increasing load or speed

OTHER

Usual Care

* Basic education about polymyalgia rheumatica, benefits of physical activity * Patients will be encouraged to participate in physical activity as tolerated * Medication as prescribed by their physician
