Summary
This study tests two approaches to help people with knee osteoarthritis keep up with physical therapy exercises at home. One uses a smartphone app with game-like rewards and social support, and the other adds a health coach. The goal is to see if these methods improve long-term pain, function, and daily activity. About 254 veterans will take part and be followed for two years.
