Osteoarthritis physical activity care pathway: Results of an exploratory trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To conduct an exploratory randomized controlled trial of a physical activity intervention for individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) involving telephone-delivered coaching, activity self-monitoring, and connection with resources to support activity (Osteoarthritis Physical Activity Care Pathway; OA-PCP).

Methods

Older adults (age ≥65 years) with symptomatic hip or knee OA and comorbid health conditions (N ​= ​240) were randomized to OA-PCP or an attention control (AC) condition. OA-PCP included coaching calls at baseline and at 3-month intervals through 12 months, as well as email-delivered content. The ACgroup received calls and emails focused on OA education. The primary outcome was minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per week, measured at base
