Brief Summary

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

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to improve osteoarthritis symptoms and quality of life in older people with knee osteoarthritis from a primary care center. The main question it aims to answer is:

* To participate in a Nordic walking reduces pain measured on WOMAC pain dimension?
* To participate in a Nordic walking improves mobility measured on WOMAC physical activitiy dimension? Researchers will compare pain and physical activity outcomes between intervention and control arm (randomly allocated).

Ten percent of the adult Spanish population has knee osteoarthritis , which is accompanied by symptoms of pain, mechanical alterations, stiffness, and decreased functionality, constituting one of the most common causes of disability in older people..

Study Groups

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

Nordic walking program

Patients randomly allocated this arm participated in a nordic walking program to improve their pain symptoms and quality of life

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Nordic walking program

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention is a defined program of Nordic walking and strengthening exercises for 10 weeks in a regimen of two days per week (two 75-minute sessions per week). In these sessions, they did Nordic walking three 5-minute breaks, where strength and proprioception exercises of the lower extremities were performed.

Control group

Patients randomly assigned to this group received only one educational session to advice the convenience of exercising on their own initiative.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Educational advise

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients in the control arm participated in a single session to advise them on the need for self-exercise.
