Exercise trials for knee osteoarthritis are not consistently collecting and reporting information about exercise adherence.
- •
Without information about adherence, the understanding of true treatment effect sizes of exercise for individuals with knee osteoarthritis is limited.
- •
Only 10.2% of trials provided a predetermined threshold of adequate adherence, and outcomes did not appear to differ in those who met the threshold. However, metrics, thresholds, and comparator groups were highly heterogeneous in these trials, limiting any conclusions.
