Determining optimal diet/exercise treatment assignment for patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis using baseline gait forces
PMMs exhibited no statistically significant differences in estimated values for 18-month change in outcomes when including gait forces. Although potentially underpowered, these results suggest that gait forces, although involved in the KOA phenotype, may not meaningfully influence diet/exercise treatment outcomes for individuals with obesity and symptomatic KOA.
