Official title
Outcomes of Low-Impact Group Exercise Program for People With Ankle, Knee, and/or Hip Pain
Overview
The primary objective of this study is to study how low-impact group exercise classes affect pain scores in patients with knee, hip, and ankle pain when paired with concurrent standard of care dietitian and behavioral health consults.
Detailed description
Osteoarthritis is estimated to affect at least 10% of men and 13% of women over 60 years old in the United States. It's estimated roughly 1 million total joint replacements are being performed each year. Studies have suggested that for patients with knee pain that have high BMIs, low strength, and/or have not participated in conservative measures, a low-impact exercise plan when paired with diet counseling and behavioral health classes can improve patient reported outcomes scores in both pain and function. This study seeks to build upon this research and will provide low-impact exercise plans that will be paired with standard of care dietician and behavioral health interventions in order to offer patients a full-scope approach to battling osteoarthritis pain, especially for those with high BMIs, low strength, and/or for patients that have not attempted conservative therapy in the past. We will include patients with knee, hip, and ankle pain.
Interventions
- Other Group Physical Therapy Classes
Three times weekly, these subjects will have one hour group physical therapy sessions with either a physical therapist, physical therapy assistant, or personal trainer. These sessions will be aimed to improve strength and function in a low-impact setting designed specifically for those with joint pain.
Primary outcome measures
- VAS Pain scores [Time frame: 6 Months]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- BMI [Time frame: 6 Months]
