​

• Results from Denmark at one-year follow-up include:

  •  27 per cent reduction in pain intensity

  •  37 per cent reduction in use of joint related pain medications in knee patients, and 45 percent reduction in hip patients

  • An over 30 per cent increase in self-reported physical activity levels

  •  20 per cent of GLA:D participants with knee osteoArthritis (OA) were on sick leave, comparedto 30 per cent at baseline

​

• The program is lead by a physiotherapist and is based on the principles of neuromuscular exercise in conjunction with education, which teach participants the use their muscles for correct movement patterns for everyday activity.

​

• GLA:DTM Canada is appropriate for anyone experiencing knee and or hip OA symptoms, including those with mild to severe symptoms. For some people who are waiting for joint replacement surgery attending GLA:DTM Canada has delayed their decision to proceed.
