Abstract
The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) began delivering the GLA:D® Canada program for knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) in 2018. Little is known about the program participants or their outcomes. This study aimed to describe participant characteristics and outcomes (via a secondary dataset analysis) of CMCC patients in the GLA:D® Canada registry from inception to June 30, 2023. Results revealed improvements in mean scores for knee-related pain, function, quality of life, and hip-related pain. Health related quality of life and self-efficacy in managing symptoms were similar for participants with knee and hip OA. Demographic and outcome data were similar between CMCC and other GLA:D® programs in Canada and internationally. The data from this analysis may provide further investigative opportunities to better understand the experience of GLA:D® patients, clinical and educational faculty and students at CMCC, and should be conducted to optimize the program for an academic chiropractic setting.
