Self-management is very important in chronic diseases, and promoting physical activity is a key public health strategy for arthritis management. Although several exercise programs such as People with Arthritis Can Exercise (PACE) have been created to implement this strategy, none have sufficient scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness to promote the programs through public health avenues.
The primary goal of this study is to assess the effect of PACE(People with Arthritis Can Exercise), a community-based group recreational exercise program, on key arthritis-related health outcomes. The primary goal of the study will be accomplished through an eight week randomized controlled trial conducted with 480 participants residing in eight urban or rural communities in North Carolina. This project is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in changing arthritis-related health outcomes such as pain, function and physical activity levels. The project will compare the eight week PACE program to a control group.
