The smallest worthwhile effects of strengthening exercise on pain intensity for people with knee osteoarthritis: A benefit-harm trade-off study
To consider strength exercise worthwhile, people with knee osteoarthritis require supervised individual or group exercise to provide a 20% reduction in knee pain, and digitally-delivered exercise to provide a 15% reduction, beyond the pain reduction expected without exercising.
