Abstract
Hip osteoarthritis is a common painful condition, often making activities of daily living difficult. Although strengthening lower limb muscles can provide some pain-relief and ease with activities of daily living, many still suffer with unacceptable pain and difficulty with physical function. We will determine if adding aerobic exercise to strengthening exercise will provide greater pain-relief and physical function improvement compared to strengthening alone in people with hip osteoarthritis.
