Physical Activity Pathway for Patients With Osteoarthritis in Primary Care

This is a multi-phase study that will develop and test an osteoarthritis (OA) primary care
Physical activity Care Pathway (OA-PCP), a scalable intervention that includes: 1) a
practical process for physical inactivity screening in primary care, 2) a brief, tailored
physical activity (PA) counseling intervention via telephone, 3) connection of patients with
community programs and other resources to support PA, and 4) follow-up with patients to
deliver additional appropriate counseling and referrals to PA resources.

This study will be a single group pilot trial of the OA-PCP. The feasibility and
acceptability of the OA-PCP will be assessed among n=60 patients with hip and knee OA in two
primary care clinics. All patients in the trial will participate in the OA-PCP and will
complete assessments at baseline and 4-month follow-up. Feasibility metrics will include
rates of recruitment, intervention engagement and retention; acceptability will be assessed
from both patients and health care providers.
