This study assessed and compared the effects of clinic-based and telemonitored home-based interventions on pain intensity, function and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This was with a view to providing evidence for the validation of the effectiveness of home-based intervention on knee osteoarthritis
This study was a quasi-experiment involving forty two patients with KOA. They were randomly allocated into two groups equally; clinic-based group (CBG) and telemonitored home-based group (THG).
The CBG received exercises to strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles using thera band while THG received same treatment regimen but at home and were monitored on phone by the researcher. The subjects performed four sets of eight repetitions for each of the exercises three days in a week for eight weeks. Pain intensity was assessed with Quadruple Visual Analog Scale, function was assessed with the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index and quality of life was assessed with WHO Quality of Life-BREF at pretreatment, 3rd week, 6th week and 8th week of intervention. Data was analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare the mean value of variables within the group and between the groups. Alpha level was set at 0.05.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants that have any other knee joint diseases.
Participants underwent strengthening exercises to the quadriceps and harmstring using thera band at the hospital. The band was attached around the ankle for strengthening of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles using isometric muscle contraction using a standard protocol. The patient performed four sets of eight repetitions for each of the exercises.

Participants underwent strengthening exercises to the quadriceps and harmstrings with thera band but doing the intervention at home but monitored with telephone call. The band was attached around the ankle for strengthening of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles using isometric muscle contraction using a standard protocol. The patient performed four sets of eight repetitions for each of the exercises.
Other: Clinical Based Isometric contraction strengthening Exercises using Thera band · Other: Telemonitored Home based Isometric Cntraction strengthening exercises using Thera band
Patients did isometric contraction exercises using thera band in the clinic physically. They did not need to be monitored by telephone
Also known as: Clinical Based intervention
Patients did isometric contraction exercises using thera band at home, they were monitored by telephone three times in a week for 8 weeks
Also known as: Telemonitores Home based Intervention
Quadruple Visual Analog Scale (QVAS)
This was used to assess pain intensity experienced by the participants at the time of assessment, typical or average pain, pain at its best, and pain at its worst, respectively (Von Korff et al, 1993).It consists of 4 items with each item numbered 0 to 10. With 0 indicating no pain and 10 is worst possible pain. A Yoruba translated version of the QVAS was used for participants who had preference for the Yoruba language
Time frame: 1-8 weeks
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index
WOMAC is a self-administered health-status instrument for patients with KOA, consists of 24 items within three subscales: pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items) and physical function (17 items). The Yoruba version of WOMAC translated was used for participants who do not understand English. Minimum is 0 and maxmum is 4
Time frame: 1-8 weeks

Ran from Feb 2021 to primary completion in Sep 2021, 7 months.
Of 1,111 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Osteoarthritis, Knee, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 36. This study's 7 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,251 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 36.
