Brief Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of identifying people with osteoarthritis (OA) who are interested in individualized exercise programs through a web-based osteoarthritis application; assessing their exercise barriers, facilitators, motivators and preferences; and engaging them in an exercise program tailored to meet their needs by a Certified Fitness Trainer.

Study Arms (1)

Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

This is a single arm pilot study. All participants who answer yes to interest in exercise question on the web-based osteoarthritis preference tool will be included in the exercise intervention. After completing baseline measures, they will be put in contact with the Fitness Instructor and follow the protocol described.

Behavioral: exercise

Interventions

exercise BEHAVIORAL

Participants will meet with a Certified Fitness Trainer and engage in shared goal setting and selection of a CDC-recommended exercise program for OA that best fits their needs and preferences, specifically addressing any identified barriers. The Trainer will use programs from a vetted list of programs that are appropriate for older adults with knee OA, and modify as needed. This list will be developed with the Certified Fitness Trainer and the PI. The Trainer will be available to answer questions and will contact each participant by phone every two weeks to find out how participants are doing; make adjustments to the program, if needed; and provide motivation and encouragement.
