RAPTOR Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new way to provide rehabilitation for people with knee pain, using a combination of in-person and remote (telerehabilitation) interventions. The goal is to see if this is feasible and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for rural adults over 40 in western Pennsylvania with knee osteoarthritis, who can visit a clinic twice and have internet plus a device for telehealth. It's not for those with balance/gait disorders, multiple recent falls, or chronic neurological issues affecting coordination.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The RAPTOR program combines in-person and telehealth physical therapy to see if it's feasible and safe for treating knee osteoarthritis pain and improving function and quality of life in rural patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves physical therapy exercises, potential side effects may include muscle soreness or strain. However, as this is non-invasive treatment, serious side effects are unlikely.
