Study Summary

This trial will look at how electrical stimulation through a home-based medical device can help people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by improving muscle mass, strength, walking, pain, & perceived function.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 22-75 with knee osteoarthritis who can walk for 30 minutes and tolerate an electrical stimulation device for up to an hour. They should not have had a change in medication or symptom exacerbation recently, no injections into the knees in the past year, and no history of severe arthritis, neurological diseases, or use of similar devices.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if a home-based program using electrical stimulation over 12 weeks improves muscle strength, pain relief, walking ability, and overall function in adults with knee osteoarthritis compared to those without such stimulation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the device's electrical stimulation leading to skin irritation or muscle fatigue. There might also be temporary increased joint pain after exercise sessions.
