In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee affects approximately one-fifth (\~300K) of Singaporeans aged 50 years or older, with the disease prevalence increasing with age. Patients with advanced knee OA and severe disability often require a total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. With an ageing population and the high prevalence of obesity, the annual number of TKRs is projected to rise. Thus, innovative care models are urgently needed to improve patient outcomes while managing or reducing the economic burden of this common and costly public health problem. Unmet Need: Conservative treatment through physiotherapy rehabilitation is a key intervention, but significant access limitations result in unnecessary TKRs. For patients with knee OA, consensus guidelines are unanimous in recommending education, exercise, and weight management (if required) as first-line interventions. Physiotherapy
