- Original description
To investigate the research design (pilot-RCT) and feasibility of the HANDY program for people with hand osteoarthritis (version 2.0). In collaboration with two municipalities (Lyngby-Taarbæk and Ballerup), the research design is tested in a pilot-RCT before planning a full-scale RCT study. The entire HANDY program is described in a manual, which has been adjusted to version 2.0 based on a previous feasibility study. The focus of the study will be on procedures related to recruitment and retention, the study's acceptance in practice, and the appropriateness of assessment tools in connection with the occupational therapy group intervention. The feasibility and acceptance of the HANDY program version 2.0 are also examined in this study.Read full original descriptionShow less
