Implication

Mixed-methods evaluation shows high user engagement in an online Tai Chi program for knee osteoarthritis, suggesting potential for wider accessibility.

Key Points

Most participants expressed high engagement with the online Tai Chi program, finding it enjoyable and beneficial.
Among the participants, 72% completed the process measures, indicating a strong adherence with an average of 2.3 days per week of Tai Chi.
The assessment involved both quantitative and qualitative measures, evaluating user engagement and experiences effectively to identify areas for improvement.
The findings suggest that although generally positive, there are aspects of the program delivery that could be adjusted to enhance the user experience further.
