description BackgroundTelerehabilitation is promising for improving knee osteoarthritis, but the effect of different telerehabilitation strategies on knee osteoarthritis is unclear. ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the effect of a clinic-based strengthening exercise (CbSE) and asynchronous video-based strengthening exercise (AVbSE) on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, quality of life, and physical function among patients with knee osteoarthritis. MethodsA total of 52 consenting patients participated in this 8-week experimental study; they were assigned to the CbSE or AVbSE group at 2 different study sites. CbSE is a circuit exercise module comprising knee flexion and extension warm-up in sitting, quadriceps isometric setting, quadriceps strengthening exercise, hamstring clenches, wall squat, and a cooldown of knee flexion and extension. The AVbSE is an asynchronous video-based version of the CbSE. ResultsThis study spanned from March 31, 2021, to November 26, 2021. Eight out of 62 participants discontinued participation. Data collection and analysis have been completed. Significant differences were only observed in the mental health (t50=–3, P=.004), pain (t39.4=–3.6, P<.001), social support (t50=–2.7, P=.009), and social activities (t50=2.2, P=.03) domains of the Osteoarthritis Knee and Hip Quality of Life (OAKHQoL) questionnaire with higher scores in the AVbSE group at the end of week 4. At the end of week 8, significant differences were observed in mental health (t50=–2.1, P=.04) and pain (t37.3=–2.8, P=.008) measures with higher scores in AVbSE; however, a significantly higher score was observed in the CbSE group for the Quadruple Visual Analog Scale. No significant main effect of time was observed in this study, except in the muscle strength (F2100=1.5, P=.24), social support (F2100=2.5, P=.09), and social activity (F2100=0.7, P=.48) domains of the OAKHQoL questionnaire and activity limitation (F2100=0.1, P=.90), and performance restriction (F2100=1.3, P=.27) domains of the Ibadan Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Measure (IKHOAM) questionnaire. There was no significant difference between groups in all OAKHQoL domains except social activities (mean 17.6, SD 1.2 vs 22.8, SD 1.2; P=.003) and average pain (2.8, SD 1.6 vs 2.3, SD 1.6; P=.03) with higher AVbSE mean scores. However, a higher score was observed for the CbSE group in the Quadruple Visual Analog Scale’s least pain domain (1.2, SD 0.2 vs 0.7, SD 0.2; P=.04). Also, interaction effects showed that AVbSE scores were significantly higher for the OAKHQoL questionnaire’s physical activity and mental health domains at all time points. However, the CbSE score was higher for the physical performance domain of the IKHOAM questionnaire in the eighth week. ConclusionsCbSE circuit training and its AVbSE variant effectively improve treatment outcomes and increase the quality of life of patients. While AVbSE was associated with higher improvement in most health-related quality of life domains, CbSE led to higher improvement in average pain.
