Project Details

This project will specifically compare the effects of two different physiotherapy delivered exercise programs for individuals suffering with painful knee osteoarthritis who are overweight, to identify if they respond differently to either of the exercise programs. This study will help develop treatment programs that better target the "right type of exercise program to the right patient".
