Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!

Exercise is recommended as a core treatment in knee OA management regardless of patient age or disease severity. This episode breaks down the NHMRC Level 1 evidence supporting a combination of strength, aerobic, and flexibility training to improve pain and physical function. Learn the specific FITT prescription: 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (working "somewhat hard") on most days and resistance training ≥ 3 times weekly. We cover critical safety checks: confirming footwear, using chair support, and advising patients to revise their regimen if pain remains elevated for more than 2 hours post-exercise1.... Mention EPC Medicare referrals to deliver a perfect, professional management plan!

Pro Tip: In the OSCE, never just suggest "walking." Specifically mention the NHMRC Level 1 triad of strength, aerobic, and flexibility exercises, and demonstrate safety by asking the patient about their footwear. These specific details are what separate a "pass" from a "superior" performance!
