Integration of exercise counselling and support into the Musculoskeletal Help Line for people with knee osteoarthritis: a mixed-methods evaluation of a novel telephone service.

锻炼是膝骨性关节炎患者自我管理的重要组成部分，然而，许多患有膝骨性关节炎的澳大利亚人接触到合格的临床医生的机会有限。此外，大多数锻炼提供者没有得到足够的培训，无法激励和支持人们长期有效地将锻炼融入他们的生活。该项目将为膝骨性关节炎患者实施和评估以电话为基础的运动咨询和支助服务。

Exercise is an important part of self-management for people with knee osteoarthritis, however access to qualified clinicians is limited for many Australians with knee osteoarthritis. In addition, most exercise providers are not adequately trained to motivate and support people to effectively incorporate exercise into their life on a long-term basis. This project will implement and evaluate a telephone-based exercise counselling and support service for people with knee osteoarthritis.
