Brief Summary:
Previous studies have found that exercise can reduce pain improve endurance for physical activities and improve cardiovascular fitness over time However these studies have not looked at the impact of exercise programs for older adults with osteoarthritis or at how long older adults continue exercising after a program is finished This study will look at the long-term effects of a structured exercise program for people aged 60 or older who have osteoarthritis of the hip or knee One goal of the exercise program is to encourage older people with osteoarthritis to continue exercising
We will randomly assign study participants to either the exercise program or a control group that does not do the exercise program We will monitor participants at the start of the study at 8 weeks and every 3 months for 2 years after the program is completed The exercise program lasts for 8 weeks and includes an exercise part and an educational part led by trained physical therapists We believe that participants in the treatment exercise group will show higher rates of continued exercise and higher functional status over time compared to the group of people who do not participate in the exercise program

Detailed Description:
Recent exercise interventions have demonstrated statistically significant short-term improvements in muscle strength fitness and physical activity in people under the age of 70 This study seeks to determine if those same benefits can be achieved in an older population mean age 84 with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee The study will examine the long-term effects of a structured exercise program that seeks to promote adherence to continued exercise
We will randomly assign people who meet the study criteria to the exercise intervention or control group We will conduct measures at baseline at 8 weeks and at 3-month intervals for 2 years following the intervention The exercise component of the intervention will include lower extremity muscle strengthening range-of-motion exercises and fitness walking An educational component will focus on arthritis self-efficacy and perceived self-reported exercise efficacy We hypothesize that treatment group participants will exhibit higher rates of adherence to exercise and higher functional status outcomes over time compared to controls
