The GLA:D^® program can be helpful for people with a range of conditions affecting their lower limbs.

Clinics can offer their GLA:D^® education and exercise sessions to anyone who is assessed as being appropriate for and needing that intervention.

Data collection is an important part of the program, both for evaluation and for advocating for changes in how people can access appropriate care for hip and knee osteoarthritis. Individuals who are eligible for data collection should be included in this if they are eligible whenever possible.

These are the criteria that apply to data collection:

Inclusion criteria

• Individuals who have joint problems from the hip and/or knee that have resulted in a clinical diagnosis of hip or knee osteoarthritis (x-ray or imaging is NOT required).

Exclusion criteria

• Individuals who have joint problems due to other reasons, such as tumor, inflammatory joint disease, and sequelae after hip fracture
• Individuals whose other health symptoms are more pronounced than the osteoarthritis problems, such as chronic generalised pain and fibromyalgia
• Individuals who do not understand English
