This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether supervised exercise classes delivered online can help people with knee osteoarthritis manage their pain. Half of the participants will take part in exercise-only classes, while the other half will participate in classes that combine exercise with mindfulness techniques like meditation. Both groups will meet twice a week for 10 weeks via video conference, plus do exercises at home.
Many people with knee arthritis struggle with pain and limited mobility, but traditional in-person physical therapy isn't always accessible or convenient. This study wants to see if delivering exercise and mindfulness training online can be an effective and practical way to help people manage their symptoms from home.

If you join, you'll attend supervised exercise classes twice a week for 10 weeks via Zoom video call. You'll also do a structured exercise program at home on your own. Throughout the study, you'll complete brief weekly surveys about your pain and how you're feeling, plus longer surveys at specific time points (at the start, week 5, week 10, and beyond). You may also wear a small digital sensor to track your movement at the beginning and week 10.
