Summary

This study tested whether a smartphone app called ARTHE-e helps people with knee osteoarthritis follow their exercise routines better than standard care. 120 participants used the app for 6 months, and researchers measured exercise adherence using a questionnaire. The goal is to see if the app can improve symptom management and quality of life.
