The Effect of Hybrid Tele-rehabilitation Versus Standard Rehabilitation in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial
People with knee osteoarthritis often need regular physiotherapy sessions to reduce pain and improve movement. Attendance of in-person sessions can be difficult because of travel and time. This study aims to learn if combining in-person and video sessions using Zoom works for people with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are : * Does combining in-person and video sessions improve pain and physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis? * Does combining in-person and video sessions improve adherence to the exercise program? * Are people satisfied with video sessions using Zoom? The researchers will compare the use of one in-person session and one video session per week to the standard care of two in-person sessions per week. Participants will : * Attend either (one in-person and one video session per week) or (two in-person sessions per week) for 8 weeks. * Perform exercise program that suits their needs during in-person and video sessions. * Record the number of attended sessions over 8 weeks. * Complete questionnaires about pain, physical function at the start and the end of the study. * Complete questionnaire about usability and satisfaction at the end of the study.
