Study Summary
This trial will help determine if a novel exercise regimen reduces radiographic thumb CMC joint misalignment among persons with thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with confirmed thumb CMC osteoarthritis who haven't had hand rehab in the last 6 months. It's not for those with severe arthritis, recent cortisone treatments, joint replacements, inflammatory arthritis, or conditions like Marfan's or Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a dynamic stability exercise program against standard care to see if it improves thumb alignment and function in people with thumb CMC OA. Participants will have CAT scans before and after an 8-week exercise program to measure changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical exercises rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness or strain. However, these are typically mild and temporary as the body adjusts to new activities.
