Efficacy of the Flinders chronic condition management program in obese patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis

Conclusion This study is designed to provide robust and transparent findings including randomisation sequence generation, allocation concealment and implementation and will therefore provide much needed quality evidence in the field of self-management and osteoarthritis.1 The Flinders Program has not been used in this type of patient cohort before and since it has been proven a successful self-management tool for other chronic conditions in Australian communities, the results of this study will add valuable knowledge to the chronic condition management.
