To investigate whether simultaneous telephone coaching improves the clinical effectiveness of a physiotherapist-prescribed home-based physical activity program for knee osteoarthritis (OA).A total 168 inactive adults ages ≥50 years with pain on numeric rating scale ≥4 (NRS; range 0-10) and OA were recruited from community randomly assigned to physiotherapy (PT) group (n = 84) or PT-only group. All participants received five 30-minute consultations physiotherapist over 6 months education,...
Objective Evaluate a physiotherapist-led telephone-delivered exercise advice and support intervention for people with knee osteoarthritis. Methods Participant-blinded, assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial. 175 were randomly allocated to (1) existing telephone service (≥1 nurse consultation self-management advice) or (2) (5–10 consultations physiotherapist trained in behaviour change personalised strengthening physical activity programme) plus the service. Primary outcomes overall...

Background Integrated models of care are recommended for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Exercise is integral to management, yet exercise adherence problematic. Telephone-based health coaching an attractive adjunct physical therapist–prescribed that may improve adherence. Little known about the perceptions and interpretations therapists, telephone coaches, patients engaged in this model care. Objectives The purpose study was explore how stakeholders (physical patients) experienced,...
To explore physical therapists' experiences with, and the impacts of, a training program in person-centered practice to support exercise adherence people with knee osteoarthritis.This was qualitative case study using semi-structured interviews, nested within clinical trial. Eight Australian therapists were interviewed before, after, for osteoarthritis. Training involved 2-day workshop, skills practice, audit of 8 consultations 4 patients (per therapist), final single-day workshop feedback...
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common and costly chronic musculoskeletal conditions world-wide associated with substantial pain disability. Many people knee OA also experience co-morbidities that further add to burden. Uptake adherence physical activity recommendations suboptimal in this patient population, leading poorer outcomes greater impact co-morbidities. This pragmatic randomised controlled trial will investigate clinical- cost-effectiveness adding telephone coaching a...
Exercise and physical activity are a core component of knee osteoarthritis (OA) care, yet access to therapists is limited for many people. Telephone service delivery models may increase access.Determine the effectiveness incorporating exercise advice behavior change support by into an existing Australian nurse-led musculoskeletal telephone adults with OA.Randomized controlled trial nested qualitative studies.Community, Australia-wide.One hundred seventy-five people ≥45 years age symptoms...
Pregnancy is a time of significant physiological and physical change for women. In particular, it at which many women are risk gaining excessive weight. We describe the rationale methods Health in Post-birth (HIPP) Study, study aims primarily to determine effectiveness specialized health coaching (HC) intervention during pregnancy, compared education alone, preventing gestational weight gain postpartum retention 12 months post birth.

Abstract Introduction Successful management of musculoskeletal conditions depends on active patient engagement and uptake recommended health services self‐management strategies. Clinicians have a strong influence behaviours. Both clinicians educators need to recognise the clinician's as specific clinical skillset be professionally developed. To inform professional development strategies this study explored priority clinician attributes that underpin fostering uptake. Methods A three‐round...
Clinical and general health guidelines recommend physical activity (PA) exercise for osteoarthritis (OA). Among people with OA, PA levels are low, there is a global underutilisation of exercise, benefits generally not sustained due to suboptimal adherence that declines over time. Telephone delivered coaching can be used in chronic disease management improve treatment recommendations facilitate behaviour change. PURPOSE: To investigate whether telephone improves effectiveness...
