Brief Summary

Background Cycling is a very popular activity and has various health benefits. Knee pain is very common among recreational cyclists and often limits cyclists to perform their sport. Physiotherapy care including a bike fit is often a recommended treatment for cyclists with knee pain. Objective The aim of this proposal is to prospectively describe physiotherapy care (bike fit, education and exercises) and evaluate change in knee-related pain and disability among recreational cyclists with knee pain. Methods In this prospective observational study, 70 recreational cyclists consulting for knee pain at Physiovélo will be recruited. Physiovélo is a physiotherapy clinic specialized in bike fitting and in the assessment of cyclists with musculoskeletal disorders. Main findings from the bike fit assessment as well as interventions provided in terms of bike fit adjustment, education, advice and exercises will be collected. Various outcomes related to cycling such as cycling distance per week will also be collected. The primary outcome will knee pain during cycling measured with the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS, 0-10). Secondary outcomes will include disability measured with the Knee Outcome Survey of the Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS) and with a modified version of the Knee Outcome Survey Sports Activities Scale (KOS-SAS) for cyclist. Satisfaction with care will be measured with the visit-specific satisfaction questionnaire (VSQ-9). Adverse events related to the interventions will be collected. Outcomes will be collected on initial assessment and at 4 and 12 weeks after the consultation. Intention-to-treat analyses will be performed.
