Approaches to osteoarthritis - A qualitative study among patients in a rural setting in Central Western India.
CONCLUSION: Daily challenges and efforts, of which some may be unique to patients in a rural setting in India, underlie passive and active approaches to OA and its management. Understanding these may enhance Indian physiotherapists' implementation of evidence-based self-management programs adapted to Indian conditions and reduce the distress of their patients.
