Spain45 participantsStarted 2021-03-20

Plain-language summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and prevalent joint disorder with great impact on quality of life and high economic burden. Although a number of conservative therapies have proven to be effective for the management of hand OA, only modest treatment effects were reported for most individual interventions. The aim of the proposed study is to assess the effect of proprioceptive training on pain, function and sense perception in patients with carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA).
