CLEAT

The CLEAT Study

• A pragmatic, randomised controlled trial with economic evaluation, to compare a cycling and educational programme (CHAIN) with usual physiotherapy care in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis: CycLing and EducATion.
• The purpose of the CLEAT study was to investigate whether people who received an 8-week education and static cycling treatment had an improvement in their hip function and less pain than those patients who receive physiotherapy treatment as per standard care and practice within the NHS.
