Knee Osteoarthritis - Factors That Influence Physiotherapy Interventions

Overview:

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is increasing in Canada.

Physiotherapists provide treatment for people with knee OA to improve their mobility and maximize their function. Because we do not have much information about what treatments physiotherapists in Canada utilize when treating people with knee OA and what factors influence treatment choice, we conducted a study to determine both.
