Happy Hands - an E-self-management Intervention for People With Hand Osteoarthritis

"The 12-week intervention consists of 30 short informational videos addressing the themes prioritized by the patient research partners. These themes are further operationalized into the following categories: Information on hand OA, Hand exercises, Use of assistive devices and orthoses, Medication and surgical alternatives, and Self-management of the disease. Additionally, the intervention includes a hand exercise program consisting of 8 videos providing instructions on warm up, exercises to improve mobility, strength and coordination, and a stretching exercise. The intervention group will additionally receive treatment as usual."

Treatment as usual may vary from no treatment at all to referral to a patient education group program, or occupational therapy.
