  • Pain was assessed with the Numeric Rating Scale from 0 to 10, where 0 indicate no pain with higher numbers indicating more severe pain; physical function was assessed using the 30 s Chair Stand Test reflecting the number of repetitions of sitting to standing from a chair during a period of 30 s; a higher EQ-5D-3L index indicates better health-related quality of life. Activity level was defined as the proportion of completed videos, exercises and questionnaires offered in the programme.
