Study Notes

  • GLA:D stands for "Good life with osteoarthritis: Denmark".
  • GLA:D includes a training program.
  • The training program can be used as a pre-hab program to improve recovery.
  • GLA:D is an 8-week education and exercise program for painful knee and/or hip osteoarthritis.
  • The education component involves 2-3 week sessions.
  • The exercise component involves 12 neuromuscular sessions.
  • Exercise sessions occur 2x per week for 6 weeks.
  • Warm-up exercises include 10 minutes on a bike.
  • Circuit training involves 4 stations, 2-3 sets per station, and 10-15 repetitions per set.
  • Circuit training focuses on these four functions: core stability/postural function, dynamic alignment (keeping weight well distributed over leg), muscle strength in the legs, and functional training exercises.
  • Cool-down exercises consist of walking exercises forward and backwards in front of a mirror, followed by 10 minutes of stretching.
  • Cool down exercises improve awareness of body alignment, movement pattern, make sure joints are aligned properly, the better the alignment, the less wear and tear on the joints

Core Stability/Postural Function:

  • Pelvic tilts are a core stability exercise.
  • Sit-ups are a core stability exercise.

Dynamic Alignment:

  • Forward lunges are a dynamic alignment exercise.
  • Backward lunges are a dynamic alignment exercise.
  • Sideways lunges are a dynamic alignment exercise.

Functional Exercises:

  • Sit-to-stand (chair stands) is a functional exercise.
  • Step-ups are a functional exercise.
