Patients with knee/hip OA used Join2move less than intended: 94% started, 46% hit 6/9 modules, only 19% finished all nine.

Study at a glance

Design
Other — Secondary analysis of the intervention arm of a 199-person RCT; control arm unused (usage logs + predictors)
N
N=100 · Intervention-arm users given login credentials
Population
Adults with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis assigned to Join2move
Outcome
Module completion and predictors of program adherence

Structured fields used in claim comparison tables when every cited study has a complete layer.

Key findings

Module completion fell from 80% (module 1) to 55% (module 2); older age and comorbidity predicted lower completion (OR 0.33 for comorbidity).

Methodology

Mixed-methods analysis of usage logs plus predictors for a web-based PA intervention (Join2move) among knee/hip osteoarthritis patients.

Limitations

Does not test clinical OA outcomes of high vs low usage in an RCT contrast here.

How this study connects

Role on claims

Each row is a claim on a concept or method page where this paper supports, challenges, or qualifies the statement. Roles are hand-checked — not a model guess.

  • SupportsTreatment Adherenceconcept

    Multiple studies in this library examine treatment adherence with empirical patient or population outcomes rather than opinion alone.

    Evidence for the claim as stated.

  • SupportsTreatment Adherenceconcept

    Module completion fell from 80% (module 1) to 55% (module 2); older age and comorbidity predicted lower completion (OR 0.33 for comorbidity).

    Evidence for the claim as stated.

  • SupportsTreatment Adherenceconcept

    Effect sizes and settings differ across treatment adherence studies — digital vs clinic, trial vs observational — so results should not be pooled casually.

    Evidence for the claim as stated.

Tensions this paper is part of

From concept pages' “where studies disagree.” Disagreement means the same question; scope means different assays, populations, or outcomes.
