Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will examine feasibility of implementing Good Life with Osteoarthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) program in West Virginians with osteoarthritis of the knee

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Using West Virginia (WV) as an implementation site, this study will examine the feasibility of process implementation and effectiveness of the Good Life with Osteoarthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) program in individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee (KOA). Specifically, the study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the GLA:D program in individuals with KOA. This study will also assess the magnitude of changes in self-reported knee pain and functional impairments as well as physical performance in individuals who receive GLA:D compared to those who receive control interventions consisting of disease-specific education and exercises for KOA.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Good Life with Osteoarthritis (GLA:D) Program

Participants will attend 2 sessions aimed at providing disease-specific education followed by 12 sessions of neuromuscular exercises, each 1 hour in length, delivered twice a week over 6 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

GLA:D program (Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark)

Intervention Type OTHER

GLA:D includes disease-specific education combined with neuromuscular exercises. Control interventions include disease-specific education combined with exercises to optimize movement and strength of the affected knee.

Control intervention group

Participants allocated to the control intervention will receive disease-specific education and training to learn home exercises in a 1-hour group session. They will receive a booster session 4-weeks after the first session.
