October 13, 2017 updated by: Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA

The Effects of Group Cycling (Spinning®) On Gait and Pain-Related Disability in Persons With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Control Trial

Hypothesis: Group cycling classes (Spinning®) will improve pain and functional outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis

Methods: Patients with symptomatic knee OA will be randomized to active Spinning® classes 2-3 per week or control group for 3 months. Outcomes including gait speed, WOMAC, KOOS, KOS, and VAS pain at rest and after 6 min walk will be performed at baseline and at 12 weeks.
