Project Details
Although education, exercise, and weight loss are recommended for management of knee osteoarthritis, the additional benefits of incorporating weight loss strategies into exercise therapy interventions is currently unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of a remotely-delivered intervention targeting exercise and self-management (Exercise intervention), with the same intervention plus active weight management (Exercise and weight management intervention), and with an information-only control group for overweight and obese people with knee OA. Findings will inform development and implementation of future remotely-delivered management services.
