Rate My Professor Thorlene Egerton

Egerton's research centers on addressing the evidence-practice gap in primary care management of osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions. Her work involves designing models of health service delivery to implement evidence-based practice, including new service delivery models and effective patient education strategies. She has contributed to numerous studies on exercise interventions, telehealth programs, and patient outcomes for knee and hip osteoarthritis. Key publications include 'Effect of physical therapy on pain and function in patients with hip osteoarthritis: a randomized clinical trial' (JAMA, 2014, 252 citations), 'Meta-analysis of the relationship between breaks in sedentary behavior and cardiometabolic health' (Obesity, 2015, 462 citations), and 'Physical therapist-delivered pain coping skills training and exercise for knee osteoarthritis: randomized controlled trial' (Arthritis Care & Research, 2016, 228 citations). Other notable works cover telephone coaching for physical activity programs and systematic reviews on osteoarthritis management barriers. Her research has influenced clinical guidelines and telehealth interventions for osteoarthritis pain reduction through diet and exercise.
