Walk With Ease Program

"The primary activity required of study subjects is a 6-week self-directed (non-group) WWE walking program that study participants do at a place and time that is convenient for them. To start the intervention/program, we schedule a brief baseline meeting with study participants to discuss the program, provide the WWE workbook, secure printed informed consent, and complete various questionnaires. Study participants are also asked to maintain a daily walking diary that is provided to them.~The WWE program includes a workbook with strengthening and stretching exercises, basic facts about arthritis and PA, and information on how to individualize the program."
