GLA:D stands for Good Life with Osteoarthritis in Denmark. It is an evidence-based exercise and education program designed specifically for individuals with hip and knee osteoarthritis. GLA:D was developed in Denmark and has gained recognition worldwide for its effectiveness in reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing the quality of life for people with osteoarthritis.
The GLA:D program consists of supervised exercise sessions and education sessions provided by trained healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists. The exercise component focuses on strengthening the muscles around the hip and knee joints to improve stability and support. The exercises are tailored to the individual’s abilities and are designed to improve joint mobility, increase muscle strength, and enhance overall physical function.
GLA:D has been extensively researched and has demonstrated positive outcomes for individuals with hip and knee osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that participation in the GLA:D program can lead to reduced pain levels, improved physical function, increased muscle strength, and enhanced quality of life. The program also promotes long-term adherence to exercise and encourages individuals to continue self-management strategies even after completing the program.
