Coach2Move: Physical Therapy to Improve Physical Activity in Individuals With Chronic MSK Conditions
Sponsor: University of Utah
Summary
Chronic musculoskeletal conditions (chronic low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis) are the most common causes of long-term disability resulting in a loss of quality-of life for affected individuals and high costs for society. Regular physical activity can reduce disability and improve quality-of-life but can be challenging in the presence of pain and impaired function. This proposal addresses an urgent need for interventions that support physical activity in this population by leveraging the physical therapy intervention to address symptoms of chronic musculoskeletal conditions and support long-term physical activity engagement.
