An intervention consisting in a meaningful occupation, such as knitting, may improve adherence to treatment. This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) studied the adherence and clinical effectiveness of a knitting program in older females suffering from HOA to evaluate the acceptability of this intervention and assess the feasibility of a larger-scale RCT.enExerciseHandKnittingOsteoarthritisPainStiffnessWomenAgedExercise TherapyFemaleHandHumansPilot ProjectsQuality of LifeOsteoarthritis10.1016/j.jbmt.2021.04.001
