Funded Activity Summary

Generic lifestyle prescriptions are both insufficient and unrealistic in a cohort that is obese and markedly impaired in mobility and activity level due to lower extremity pain and abnormalities of gait. Therefore this study will design and test for the first time a novel, evidence-based lifestyle modification program which targets all of the treatable etiologic factors in knee OA: low Glycemic Index/Glycemic Load (GI/GL) diet, high intensity strength training and gait training.
