use the "Move for Knee" APP
The mobile APP called Move Your Knee allows the collection of data entered by patients, useful for understanding their lifestyle habits and daily physical activity level, and information relating to KOA pathology. At the end of the questionnaire, the algorithm integrated into the APP's computer code will allow the calculation of the patient's presumed level of physical activity. This will then be followed by the assignment of a specific form which includes the exercises and the related execution parameters (i.e. weekly frequency), and useful advice for safely carrying out the exercises to achieve the specific functional objectives.
