Patients’ and clinicians’ experiences with stratified exercise therapy in knee osteoarthritis: a qualitative study

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    In previous work, the authors identified potentially relevant and easy distinguishable subgroups from a large knee OA cohort, which the authors named the ‘high muscle strength subgroup`, ‘low muscle strength subgroup` and ‘obesity subgroup`. Based on these three subgroups, the authors developed a model of stratified exercise therapy, consisting of_(i) a stratification algorithm (see Fig 1) that allocates patients into a subgroup, and_(ii) a protocol for physiotherapists to deliver subgroup-specific exercise therapy, supplemented by a weight loss intervention from a dietician for the ‘obesity subgroup`.
