Exploring Experiences of People With Knee Osteoarthritis Who Participated in an Online Unsupervised Tai Chi Program: A Qualitative Study
Most people with knee osteoarthritis reported positive experiences with a 12-week online unsupervised Tai Chi program. The identified challenges and relevant improvements have the potential to inform modifications and refine the program before its planned public release, with the aim to enhance Tai Chi exercise accessibility and uptake among people with osteoarthritis in the broader community.
