Exercise and weight loss if overweight or obese are key components in the management of osteoarthritis (OA), but attention to adherence is important for long-term benefits. Conservative behavioral strategies for OA include patient education, use of braces, orthotics, gait aids, and appropriate footwear. Gait retraining to reduce knee load requires further research before it can be recommended in clinical practice. Of the psychological interventions, pain-coping skills training, with and without spouse involvement, has been shown to be effective in people with knee OA.
