Abstract

Objective: To investigate the presence of different trajectories of self-reported adherence to home exercise programs among people with knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to compare baseline characteristics across identified groups. Design: Pooled analysis of data from three randomised controlled trials involving exercise interventions for people aged ≥50 years with clinical knee OA (n = 341). Exercise adherence was self-reported on an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS; 0 = not at all-10 = completely as instructed). Latent class growth analysis was used to identify distinct trajectories of adherence, at intervals from 12 to 78 weeks from baseline. Baseline characteristics of these groups were ..
