To determine how exercise adherence affects pain, physical function, and self-perceived effect in osteoarthritis patients.
Prospective observational followup study of 150 osteoarthritis patients for 60 months.
Participants received prescribed exercise therapy during treatment and beyond.
Utilized generalized estimating equations analyses to assess outcomes at baseline, 3, 15, and 60 months.
Higher exercise adherence linked to reduced pain and improved physical function (exact metrics not provided).
Increased physical activity correlates with better self-perceived effects.
Adherence to home activities primarily enhances self-perceived effect.
