Rest breaks during exercise for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study is testing whether adding short rest breaks during exercise can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and stick with a program. It may be a good option if you have mild to moderate knee pain and are not very active right now.
