Determine the feasibility of painful exercise for people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) to inform a future randomised controlled trial. Materials and methods: People KOA were into (INT) or non-painful (CON) groups. Both groups performed supervised twice per week 6 weeks received standardised education. Feasibility was assessed using participant recruitment retention rates as well adherence compliance. Secondary outcomes included pain, function, strength, pressure pain threshold, psychosocial measures, global impression change, adverse events. Twenty participants (67.4 ± 8.9 years old; 18 females) completed study. supported by satisfactory (INT 89%, CON 89%) 91%, 100%) 92%) compliance 72%, 81%). Outcomes improved similarly between groups, except strength which increased more in INT compared (13.0 [0.2-25.9] kg). Four (3 INT, 1 CON) took analgesic medication exercise-induced exacerbations. No other events reported. When combined education, is feasible KOA. Future research comparing effectiveness safety warranted. ACTRN12622001231730.
