Osteoarthritis is a common locomotor disorder affecting many older people and has become a growing public health problem. Adherence to exercise is a key to the successful recovery of patients but is often a major problem for older adults with osteoarthritis. The proposed pilot study is aimed to explore the feasibility and acceptance of an interactive computer assisted physical therapy prototype for aging adults with osteoarthritis.
