Home-Based Leg Dexterity Trainer for Knee Osteoarthritis
This study is testing a new home-based device called the Leg Dexterity Trainer for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Knee OA causes pain and can make it harder to move around. The study wants to see if using the Leg Dexterity Trainer can reduce pain and improve how well your knee works, compared to using a wobble board, which is a common exercise tool. You might be able to join if you are between 40 and 85 years old, can walk at home and in your community, and have knee OA with a certain level of pain. The study will measure pain using a Numerical Rating Scale and a questionnaire called WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) after 8 weeks of training.
- Study design
- This is a randomized, double-blind study comparing two groups: one using the Leg Dexterity Trainer and another using a wobble board, with 82 participants in total.
- What's involved
- Participants will have a baseline visit and an assessment after an 8-week training session.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Pain and function will be assessed after the 8-week training session.

What this trial measures
- Pain: Numerical Rating ScalePain will be assessed during the baseline visit and after the 8-week training session.
Study participants will complete the 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), which is a simple and frequently used pain assessment tool across both clinical research and clinical practice. The resulting score is a unitless integer ranging from 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain and 10 being the most pain imaginable.
- Pain and Function: WOMACWomac will be assessed during the baseline visit and after the 8-week training session.
Study participants will complete the Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale, which consists of 5 questions about pain experienced during activities like walking, using stairs, and standing. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = extreme. Scores from each subsale are summed to produce a unitless pain/function score.
