Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) knee pain score increased indicates lower symptoms of pain. KOOS function (daily living and sport and recreation) score increased indicates lower symptoms of functional disability (daily living and sport and recreation). Depression score increased indicates higher depression level. Anxiety score increased indicates higher anxiety level. Stress score increased indicates higher stress level. Fear-avoidance beliefs (work and physical activity) score increased indicates higher fear-avoidance beliefs (work and physical activity) level. Pain catastrophizing score increased indicates higher pain catastrophizing level. Pain self-efficacy score increased indicates higher pain self-efficacy level. Interaction (group x time) represents the treatment effect as the difference in change from baseline between the two groups. * Significant at p < 0.05.
