Exercise is consistently recommended for older adults with knee pain related to osteoarthritis. However, the effects from exercise are typically small and short-term, likely linked insufficient individualisation of programme limited attention supporting adherence over time. The BEEP randomised trial aims improve patients' short long-term outcomes exercise. It will test overall effectiveness cost-effectiveness two physiotherapy-led interventions (Individually Tailored Targeted Adherence)...
