| Scientific title | Individualising exercise for knee pain: developing an evidence-based impairment-targeted intervention |
| Study acronym | TargET-Knee-Pain |
| Study objectives | The overall aim of this study is to investigate the principle of impairment-targeted exercises as treatments for older adults with knee pain. The study has a single-group design. It has the following objectives: Objective 1: To test the proof-of-principle that simple home-based impairment-targeted exercises can improve those impairments in older adults with knee pain. Objective 2: To investigate whether improvements in these impairments are reflected in improvements in self-reports of physical function. Objective 3: To assess the feasibility of this intervention approach and its acceptability to patients by qualitative means. |
| Ethics approval(s) | MREC approved on the 7th November 2008 (ref: 08/H1202/179) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Topic: Primary Care Research Network for England, Musculoskeletal; Subtopic: Not Assigned, Musculoskeletal (all Subtopics); Disease: Musculoskeletal, All Diseases |
| Intervention | This will be a single-centre study. Participants will be invited to participate in the current study at the end of their visit for final clinical assessment before the termination of the CAS-K study. Exercise programme: consists of an individualised home-based impairment-targeted exercise programme for 12 weeks (fortnightly home visits alternating with fortnightly telephone calls) and involves daily self-directed formal exercises. Recruitment will last for the duration of the final clinical assessment clinics, which are planned to take place between January and December 2009. Duration of follow-up will be 12 weeks.
