ALLIANCE
Brief Summary:
The therapeutic alliance (TA) is the working relationship or positive social bond between the patient and the therapist. TA is based on collaboration, communication, empathy of the therapist and mutual respect. Fostering an enhanced therapeutic alliance is a low-cost, therapist-dependent strategy that can accompany any clinical intervention. Growing evidence suggests that the TA plays a pivotal role in clinical outcomes in psychotherapy, medicine and physiotherapy interventions for chronic low back pain. On the other hand, therapeutic exercise is an economic, accessible and simple intervention strategy that has proven to be effective and safe to decrease pain and improve physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). To date, the role of TA in the management of knee OA is unknown. We hypothesized that a therapeutic exercise protocol accompanied by an enhanced TA could reduce the severity of symptoms and improve function in patients with symptomatic knee OA.
Detailed Description:
The objective of this randomized clinical trial will be to determine the effects of different levels of TA during the application of a therapeutic exercise program on pain intensity, pressure pain thresholds and function in patients with symptomatic knee OA.
