Summary

This study tests a program called BOOST-OA designed to help veterans with knee osteoarthritis stick to their home exercise routines. The program includes goal-setting tools during physical therapy and follow-up health coaching calls for 9 months after therapy ends. Researchers will measure whether participants have better physical function and less pain compared to those receiving standard physical therapy alone.
