Why did patients apply to this trial?

I have OA of the right knee and have had physical therapy which gave me great improvement. I now have an issue with the left knee and once the inflammation goes down I will use same PT exercises to see if I can strengthen the left knee. I do get hip pain sometimes while walking. I usually try to ignore it though. My doctor gave the Boston University PT staff a form to verify that I have osteoarthritis of the right knee. Anything that helps improve is welcome. Thanks, Pat.
