Abstract

Clinical and general health guidelines recommend physical activity (PA) and exercise for osteoarthritis (OA). Among people with OA, PA levels are low, there is a global underutilisation of exercise, and benefits are generally not sustained due to suboptimal adherence that declines over time. Telephone delivered health coaching can be used in chronic disease management to improve adherence to treatment recommendations and to facilitate health behaviour change.
