This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a remote, web-based Tai Chi program can help reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. You would join either a group that practices Tai Chi twice a week for 12 weeks via video, or a comparison group that continues with routine care only. The study will follow you for a full year to see whether the benefits last.
Knee arthritis affects millions of people and causes chronic pain that limits daily activities. Researchers want to know if Tai Chi—a gentle, mind-body exercise that many cultures have used for centuries—can be an effective and accessible treatment when delivered safely online from home.

If you join the Tai Chi group, you will participate in live video classes twice a week for three months (24 sessions total, each 60 minutes long). Each class includes warm-up, breathing techniques, gentle movement with meditation, and relaxation. You will be assessed at the start, after 3 months, and again at 6 and 12 months to measure changes in your pain and mobility. If you are in the routine care group, you will continue seeing your regular doctors and receive information about arthritis care guidelines; you'll be offered the Tai Chi recordings after the trial ends.
