Feasibility of pain informed movement program for people with knee osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To establish the feasibility of an intervention consisting of neuromuscular exercise, mind-body techniques, and pain neuroscience education (PNE), referred to as Pain Informed Movement in people with knee Osteoarthritis (KOA).
