GLA:D PROGRAM

We are implementing an existing evidence-based program called, Good Life with osteoarthritis in
Denmark (GLA:D) into clinical care in Canada. While some people have access to self-management
programs for OA, these programs often provide only general exercise guidance and education. In
contrast, GLA:D integrates patient education and targeted, personalized exercise for people with hip
and/or knee OA. Importantly, the exercises are taught so that you learn to incorporate them into your
everyday activities so that you are able to easily continue to manage your OA symptoms and remain
more active.
The GLA:D program includes education, the exercise program and collection of information about the
outcomes of your participation in the program. Collection of this outcome data allows us to monitor
how people are doing and the benefits they achieve with GLA:D participation so that we can monitor
the quality of the program.
