Study Summary

This trial evaluates the effects of exercise on knee osteoarthritis pain & movement. Evidence suggests exercise can reduce pain & improve function.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals over 50 with knee osteoarthritis, able to walk unaided. They must have a Kellgren-Lawrence score of 2+ confirmed by recent radiographs or new ones taken for the study. Excluded are those under 50, pregnant women, people over certain weight/height limits, with cardiovascular issues or other specific health conditions.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests if using a Cubii JR1 seated compact elliptical machine alongside standard physical therapy can improve the condition of patients with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to measure exercise's effect on pain reduction and function enhancement in these individuals.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include muscle soreness or joint discomfort due to new exercise routines. Any unexpected adverse reactions related to the use of the elliptical machine will be monitored.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Standard Physical Therapy exercise instructions for Knee Osteoarthritis + seated elliptical deviceExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants in the intervention group will be provided physical therapy (PT) exercise instruction based on Arthritis Foundation guidelines for physical activity specific to individuals with knee OA. Participants will be provided a handout with pictures of these exercises after they have demonstrated the ability to complete them at the initial visit. They will then complete this program on their own for 8 weeks; performing the exercises 3 times per week. This group will also receive a compact seated elliptical device which they will be expected to use for a min of 30 min for 5 days per week in conjunction with PT exercise instruction. Apart from these exercise sessions participants in this group will complete 3 separate evaluation sessions on-site at the beginning, interim, and end of the study where they will complete a series of functional tests and fill standard questionnaires evaluating their pain, symptoms, and knee function followed by thigh muscle strength testing.

Group II: Standard Physical Therapy exercise instructions for Knee OsteoarthritisActive Control1 Intervention

Participants enrolled in the control group will be provided standard physical therapy exercise instruction based on Arthritis Foundation guidelines for physical activity specific to individuals with knee osteoarthritis. During their first visit, the participants will meet the trained research staff to trial a series of therapeutic exercises for medial knee OA. They will be provided a handout with pictures of these exercises after they have demonstrated the ability to complete them at the initial visit. The participants will then complete this program on their own for 8 weeks; performing the exercises 3 times per week. Apart from these home-based exercise sessions participants in this group will complete 3 separate evaluation sessions onsite at the beginning, interim, and end of the study where they will complete a series of functional tests and fill standard questionnaires evaluating their pain, symptoms and knee function followed by thigh muscle strength testing.
