Summary

This study tests whether physical therapy, combined with motivational support and planning, can help older adults with chronic hip, knee, or back pain become more physically active. Participants work with physical therapists to set personal goals and adapt activities to their conditions. The study measures changes in self-reported activity and physical function over time.

What this could mean

What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could help older adults with chronic joint or back pain stay active, reducing disability and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
