Brief summary

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.

Interventions

OTHERExercise

Patients randomized to treatment arm attended 2-3 Spinning classes per week for 12 weeks.

OTHERControl

Patients randomized to the control arm were instructed not to change their baseline exercise programs
