“…Because doctors and other health care providers play a critical role in supplying information, resources, and continuing reinforcement for adoption and maintenance of appropriate physical activity behaviors, they need to be aware of the benefits of physical activity among persons with arthritis and the interventions available to promote physical activity among this population group (23,35). Various physical activity interventions exist that accommodate the special needs of persons with arthritis, such as walking, PACE (People with Arthritis Can Exercise), and YMCA Aquatics (20,36), but few of these have been evaluated for their cost-effectiveness. Cost-effectiveness evaluations of these and future physical activity interventions can quantify their benefit and allow consideration of their reimbursement by insurers and others.…”

Background Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is a major health problem, accounting for approximately one-quarter of general practice (GP) consultations in the United Kingdom (UK). Exercise and physical activity is beneficial for the most common types of CMP, such as back and knee pain. However, poor adherence to exercise and physical activity may limit long-term e ectiveness. Objectives To assess the e ects of interventions to improve adherence to exercise and physical activity for people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Search methods We searched the trials registers of relevant Cochrane Review Groups. In addition, we searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, PsycINFO, Science Citation Index and Social Science Citation Index and reference lists of articles to October 2007. We consulted experts for unpublished trials. Selection criteria Randomised or quasi-randomised trials evaluating interventions that aimed to improve adherence to exercise and physical activity in adults with pain for three months and over in the axial skeleton or large peripheral joints. Data collection and analysis Two of the four authors independently assessed the quality of each included trial and extracted data. We contacted study authors for missing information. Main results We included 42 trials with 8243 participants, mainly with osteoarthritis and spinal pain. Methods used for improving and measuring adherence in the included trials were inconsistent. Two of the 17 trials that compared di erent types of exercise showed positive e ects, suggesting that the type of exercise is not an important factor in improving exercise adherence. Six trials studied di erent methods of delivering exercise, such as supervising exercise sessions, refresher sessions and audio or videotapes of the exercises to take home. Of these, five trials found interventions improved exercise adherence. Four trials evaluated specific interventions targeting exercise adherence; three of these showed a positive e ect on exercise adherence. In eight trials studying self-management programmes, six improved adherence measures. One trial found graded activity was more e ective than usual care for improving exercise adherence.
