- Symptomatic bilateral knee OA (unless the contra-lateral knee involvement is limited to radiographic OA and not symptomatic).
- Ipsi-lateral symptomatic OA of hip or ankle; contra-lateral symptomatic OA of hip, knee, or ankle, or clinical evidence of hip disease.
- Clinically apparent tense effusion or other acute inflammation of the target knee at baseline.
- History of:
- Septic OA of any joint
- Inflammatory arthropathy such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, pseudogout, lupus, crystalline arthropathy, chondrocalcinosis and other rheumatology diagnosis in judgment of the investigator.
- Active infection of lower extremity (e.g., cellulitis).
- Prosthetic implant in hip and/or lower extremities.
- Any clinical indication for arthroscopic surgery at the time of enrollment.
- Planned surgeries during the trial period (e.g., scheduled/awaiting for arthroscopy or a knee replacement procedure for OA of the knee).
- Plans to initiate other OA treatments including, but not limited to non-pharmacologic, pharmacologic, surgical, chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga, Tai chi, physical therapy during the study period
- Any other intra-articular knee joint injection during the study.
- History of systemic and/or intra-articular steroid injection in target knee within six months of baseline visit.
- History of arthroscopic surgery in affected knee in past 12 months at baseline visit.

- Acute coronary conditions that are deemed inappropriate for participating in an exercise program.
