Abstract
Purpose: We recently developed and pilot-tested a model of stratified exercise therapy for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), based on previously identified phenotypes. In this model, patients are allocated to three distinct subgroups using a stratification algorithm: ‘high muscle strength subgroup’, ‘low muscle strength subgroup’ or ‘obesity subgroup’. For each subgroup, a tailored, subgroup-specific exercise therapy intervention is provided by a physiotherapist, with an additional dietary intervention from a dietician for the ‘obesity subgroup’.
