Can a smartphone app replace physiotherapy for knee pain?

This trial tests whether a smartphone app-guided rehabilitation program (MOKneeTOR) is as effective as traditional hospital-based physiotherapy for people with knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either use the app for 24 weeks or attend outpatient physiotherapy sessions. The study will compare improvements in walking speed, pain, and physical function, as well as the costs of each approach. The goal is to see if a flexible, home-based option can deliver comparable benefits while easing the burden on healthcare systems.
