Evaluation Study for the "Jockey Club E-Generation: Impact Extension Project for Chronic Knee Pain Management"

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Jockey Club E-Generation: Impact Extension Project for Chronic Knee Pain Management", with a view to developing sustainable strategies of self-management on chronic conditions integrating with tele-rehabilitation technology. Study design and participants: An evaluation study adopting a randomized controlled trial design, with waitlist attention control will be conducted in Elderly community centres of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council and Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) in Hong Kong. The proposed sample size is 858 participants, which is a convenience sample from the service user of the "Jockey Club E-Generation: Impact Extension Project for Chronic Knee Pain Management".

Participants will be randomized to the intervention group or the waitlist attention control group in 1:1 ratio using block randomization with random block size of 4, 6 and 8, stratified by each centre and severity of condition. A researcher independent to the project will generate the randomization sequence by computer and keep the list. Participants in the intervention group (known as Group A to the participants) will start the 12-week intervention immediately, whereas the waitlist attention control (know as Group B to the participants) will start the intervention after 12 weeks. During the waiting period, waitlist control receives attention control. Measur…
