‘Very Doable’ Low-Dose Workout Enough to Treat Knee OA

Exercise helps patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), but more isn’t necessarily better, new research shows.

A low-dose exercise regimen helped patients with knee OA about as much as a more intense workout plan, according to trial results published online January 23 in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Both high and low doses of exercise reduced pain and improved function and quality of life.

The improvements with the lower-dose plan and its 98% adherence rate are encouraging, said Nick Trasolini, MD, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

“This is a very doable amount of medical exercise therapy for patients with knee osteoarthritis, and one that makes a big difference in patient-reported symptoms,” Trasolini, who was not involved in the study, told Medscape Medical News.
