Education and activity programs to improve health in people with painful knee osteoarthritis. A randomised controlled trial
About the study
This study aims to test two different physiotherapy treatments that involve education and activity for people with painful knee osteoarthritis. Specifically, we are interested to see if these programs have long-term positive effects on health. We are also interested to see if these treatments might reduce costs to the health system. You will be involved in the study for 12 months.
