Stiffness
This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies the adherence and clinical effectiveness
 of a knitting program in older females suffering from hand osteoarthritis (HOA) to evaluate
 the acceptability of this intervention and assess the feasibility of a larger-scale RCT.
 
 It is a single-blind, two-arm pilot RCT with a parallel group design with 40 participants (20
 control, 20 experimental). Control participants are given an educational pamphlet and
 assigned to a waiting list. The knitting program (-8-week duration) has two components:
 bi-weekly 20-minute group knitting sessions and 20-minute home daily knitting on the 5
 remaining weekdays. Measures include knitting adherence (implementation outcomes) as well as
 stiffness, pain, functional status, hand physical activity level, patient's global impression
 of change, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and grip strength (clinical
 outcomes measured throughout the 8-week program and 4 weeks after the intervention).
