Funded Activity Summary

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) affects 4% of the population. It is effectively treated with physiotherapy led exercise and education. Most Australian’s with OA do not receive these treatments, and many physiotherapists lack the required knowledge and capability to provide exercise and education. I will develop a program involving workshops and online resources to teach physiotherapists how to provide exercise and education to knee OA patients, and support patients with online education resources.
