Abstract
Exercise has a major role in the management of osteoarthritis, effecting well-documented physiological improvements on muscle function. However, exercise also has lasting benefits on the complex psychosocial sequelae of osteoarthritis--facilitating appropriate health beliefs, behaviors, pain coping, and self-management strategies--that are as important as its physiological effects.Entities:
