Feasibility and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Mobile App–Based Personalized Exercise Program in Older Patients With Chronic Knee Osteoarthritis: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The mobile app-based personalized exercise program was feasible, safe, and well-accepted among older patients with knee osteoarthritis. High adherence and satisfaction support the practicality of this approach, and preliminary improvements in pain and function suggest potential clinical benefit. A larger, adequately powered trial is warranted to confirm the effectiveness of digital self-exercise interventions for knee osteoarthritis management.
