This protocol focuses on the remote delivery of physical therapy via telehealth to adults with knee OA and comes at a critical time, as the burden of inactivity is of particular concern in this population. If successful, the findings of this work will provide strong support for the broad implementation of Delaware PEAK, highlight the utility of telehealth in physical therapy, and address the critical need to utilize exercise to manage adults with knee OA through physical therapists.
