Home vs in-person rehab for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares doing physical therapy exercises at home through a video call (tele-rehab) versus doing them in person at a clinic. It is for people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis to see if home rehab works just as well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
