Adherence
Group exercise and home exercise are equally effective for knee and hip OA, and patient preference should guide the choice of delivery mode.
You can choose between group classes or home exercises based on what you prefer, as both are effective. There is no clear superiority of one over the other, so pick the option that fits your lifestyle and keeps you motivated.
