Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Structured Info and Adapted Exercise in OA (NCT NCT02022566)

NCT ID: NCT02022566

Last Updated: 2022-03-03

Results Overview

The level of physical activity will be monitored by a GT1M Actigraph which is a small uniaxial accelerometer that measures vertical acceleration and deceleration. Accelerometer output is an activity "count" which is the weighted sum of the number of accelerations measured over a period (e.g. in this case 10 seconds). Participants will be instructed to wear the accelerometer from the morning, and continuously (except for water activities) until going to bed at night, for seven consecutive days. The accelerometer will be attached to a belt to wear around the waist with accelerometer placement on the right hip. The account of minutes in sedentary time will be calculated and the average of minutes in one week will be used.

PRIMARY outcome

Level of physical activity will be monitored by an accelerometer at baseline and at 3 and 12 months after the supported self-management of osteoarthritis program using an accelerometer. The GT1M Actigraph is a small uniaxial accelerometer that measures vertical acceleration and deceleration. Accelerometer output is an activity "count" which is the weighted sum of the number of accelerations measured over a period (e.g. in this case 10 seconds).

Timeframe: baseline, 3 months and 12 months

To evaluate the health-related quality of life the EQ-5D-3L has been used. In this study, we have used the index of EQ-5D-3L with a British tariff. This scale is between (i.e., minimal value -0.594 (worst health), maximal value 1.00 (best health).

Visual Analog Scale for Pain has been used to evaluate pain. This is a scale from 0-100 mm there higher scores indicating higher intensity of pain. We have asked for the average pain the last month.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 3 months and 12 months

The Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) is a widely used self-report measure of beliefs reflecting confidence in one's capacity to function despite pain and control pain or other symptoms of arthritis. ASES is scored on a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 10 (very uncertain=worst) to 100 (very certain=best).
