🎉 First Participant Randomised! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share that our very first participant has been successfully randomised into the CASCADE‑OA trial! 🧠 What’s the study about? The CASCADE‑OA study, led by the University of Sydney, is evaluating a self‑guided 12‑week physical activity program for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Participants are randomly assigned to either: Group A: The 12‑week program plus a Fitbit, or Group B: A Fitbit with no additional program. Our aim? To discover if this self‑managed intervention can boost physical activity, ease symptoms, and improve quality of life—and whether it can be delivered effectively at scale in Australia. 🏃♀️ One participant down, many more to go! Big thanks to our team, supporters & participants. Here’s to advancing osteoarthritis care — one step at a time. 🌟 Sarah Kobayashi Vicky Duong David Hunter
