Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical changes.
Secondary outcome
The secondary aim of this study is to evaluate the CoCo service, focusing on
use of the service, satisfaction of the service, satisfaction with care and
quality of care and gaining insight into the potential efficiencies for
patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis using the CoCo service.
Background summary
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease of the musculoskeletal system.
Osteoarthritis of at least one joint is in Western Europe, encountered in
approximately 50% of the population. Treatment options for osteoarthritis of
the hip and knee can be divided into conservative and surgical interventions.
Within this research protocol, we focus on the conservative treatment of
osteoarthritis of the knee or hip through physiotherapy. Physiotherapy in
patients with osteoarthritis focuses primarily on the effects of osteoarthritis
symptoms, but also to develop an active lifestyle and self-management skills to
enhance the patient. By trying to connect to the current trend of patients*
empowerment and to improve the quality of care the CoCo service will be
embedded as a module in physiotherapy treatment of osteoarthritis patients.
Study objective
The aim of the CoCo project is the implementation of Coco service in first line
physiotherapy treatment of patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis.
Study design
A randomized controlled trial is the study design for this study. Patients
meeting the inclusion criteria after completing baseline questionnaires are
randomized in the CoCo group (physiotherapy and the CoCo service) or the
control group (physiotherapy).
Intervention
The CoCo group receives physical therapy for 12 weeks and uses the CoCo
service. The control group receives only physical therapy for 12 weeks.
Study burden and risks
The risks associated with participation in this study are minimal. Participants
receive regular treatment and may also use the CoCo modules. These modules
consist of an activity registration, informational text and video recordings of
exercises. There are no medications and physical procedures provided are not
part of the protocol. Outcome measures consist solely of questionnaires,
regular physical test and data logged by the system.
