NCT ID NCT06101797
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether remote, video-call supervised exercise works as well as in-person sessions for people with knee osteoarthritis. 48 participants did muscle-strengthening exercises for 12 weeks, either via video call or at a clinic. Researchers measured pain, function, and quality of life to see if the remote option is a good alternative.

- Active substance
- supervised muscle-strengthening exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote exercise supervision is as effective as in-person sessions for managing knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and the non-inferiority design means it aims to show equivalence, not superiority.
