Improving Resilience and Longevity for Workers Through Exercise
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exercise and No Exercise for Osteoarthritis, Knee and Osteoarthritis, Hip. Completed, enrolled 43 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of an OA-specific aerobic and strengthening exercise program, delivered within the workplace, on mobility, pain, physical capacity, and resilience among workers with knee or hip OA as well as those with no joint pain. The investigators hypothesize that exercise designed for OA, delivered at work, will improve all of these outcomes.
