Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
It is a single-blind, two-arm pilot RCT with a parallel group design with 40 participants (20 control, 20 experimental). Control participants are given an educational pamphlet and assigned to a waiting list. The knitting program (-8-week duration) has two components: bi-weekly 20-minute group knitting sessions and 20-minute home daily knitting on the 5 remaining weekdays. Measures include knitting adherence (implementation outcomes) as well as stiffness, pain, functional status, hand physical activity level, patient's global impression of change, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and grip strength (clinical outcomes measured throughout the 8-week program and 4 weeks after the intervention).
