About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of an app developed to provide useful guidance on physical activity for people with knee osteoarthritis.The main question it aims to answer is:

"What physical activity can I perform with knee osteoarthritis?" Researchers will compare use of app developed to provide physicial activity program versus educational advices (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if APP works to treat pain and stiffness related to knee osteoarthritis.

Participants will:

Download and use APP Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with unilateral or bilateral tibiofemoral osteoarthritis according to the American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for osteoarthritis, aged between 45 and 70 years, with radiographic findings (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 1-3)

Ability to understand and use the APP through a practical demonstration in an outpatient setting

Disqualifiers

Psychiatric disorders that could potentially invalidate informed consent

Treatments tested in this trial

  • use the "Move for Knee" APP

    Behavioral

    The mobile APP called Move Your Knee allows the collection of data entered by patients, useful for understanding their lifestyle habits and daily physical activity level, and information relating to KOA pathology. At the end of the questionnaire, the algorithm integrated into the APP's computer code will allow the calculation of the patient's presumed level of physical activity. This will then be followed by the assignment of a specific form which includes the exercises and the related execution parameters (i.e. weekly frequency), and useful advice for safely carrying out the exercises to achieve the specific functional objectives.
