Does long-term exercise therapy resolve ethnic differences in baseline health status in older adults with knee osteoarthritis?
Ethnicity and baseline function are important factors that should not be overlooked in knee OA research involving exercise interventions. Moreover, not only should physical activity be recommended to improve functional outcomes, it may also be a useful strategy in reducing health disparities.
