Study Groups

App-based model of care
The app-based model of care includes at least one physical visit at the clinic. The majority of the treatment is provided by the app, containing five different sections:
1\) My information: specific information regarding osteoarthritis and generic lifestyle advice. 2 \& 3) My exercise \& My plan: individualized exercises where instructions are given through real-time video or pictures and written descriptions. The patient has access to a calendar and an overview of scheduled rehabilitation/exercises and care meetings. 4) My progress: weekly assessment of pain + every six-month with valid patient reported outcome measures and test of function. 5) My messages (asynchronous chat with the responsible physiotherapist). The app sends automatic and daily reminders and / or motivational notifications.
Patient information
Patient education according to national guidelines, with information about e.g. disease progression, symptoms, treatment, exercise, self-care techniques and dietary information
Smart phone application based exercises
Individually based exercise programs individualized exercises where instructions are given through real-time video or pictures in combination with written descriptions.
Self-monitoring
Patients will be followed by validated questionnaires and function tests (30 sec Chair-to-stand test) every six months until three years after the start of treatment. The patients will get a report of the results and a research coordinator will contact the patients if their symptoms/function has worsen and discuss further treatment
Motivational notifications
Automatic and daily reminders and / or motivational notifications
Web-based model of care
The patient will get access to information about osteoarthritis and generic osteoarthritis exercises program from a web-based platform Individualization of the training can be done by the responsible physiotherapist informing about changes in the training via the message function and / or during physical follow-up visits. An individualized rehabilitation program can be given to the patient, via the platform or at a physical visit at the clinic, in form of a document with pictures and descriptive information. As long as the patient is under treatment (approximately three months), he/she can contact their responsible physiotherapist by sending a message from the platform.
Patient information
Patient education according to national guidelines, with information about e.g. disease progression, symptoms, treatment, exercise, self-care techniques and dietary information
Web based exercises
Generic osteoarthritis exercise, including about 20 different exercises, provided by real-time videos and written description
Home based rehabilitation
Individualized exercises that the patient performs on their own, i.e. at home or at a gym.
Standard care
Patients who are randomized to standard care receive osteoarthritis specific information at three different group meetings (physical or digital) led by a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist and / or dietitian (each rehab clinic makes its own arrangement). After the theory sessions, the patient is booked for another physical visit to the responsible physiotherapist where an individual training program is tested. The patient is then offered to regularly exercise at the clinic, individually or in a group under supervision from a physiotherapist.
