Summary

This study is testing whether low-impact group exercise classes can help reduce pain in people with knee, hip, or ankle osteoarthritis. Participants attend one-hour group sessions three times a week for six months, led by a physical therapist or trainer. The study also includes standard dietitian and behavioral health support. Researchers will track pain scores and body mass index to see if the program improves symptoms.
