Article

Physical exercise interventions for the management of knee
osteoarthritis are well known to be effective and accessible forms of
rehabilitation and symptom management. However, without adequate reporting of
these interventions, accurate replication and clinical use is negatively
impacted. The main objective of this article was to assess content
reporting using The Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template list and 2016
American College of Sports Medicine guidelines among moderate- to high-quality
exercise interventions randomized controlled trials (total score of >/=6/10 on
the PEDro scale) involving individuals with knee osteoarthritis. RESULTS: The
Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template mean total score for all 47 included
randomized controlled trials was 4.42 out of 19, demonstrating generally low
quality of reporting. The Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template list and the
2016 American College of Sports Medicine guidelines scores were moderately
correlated (based on 95% confidence interval, intraclass correlation coefficient
= 0.508) for aerobic interventions only. CONCLUSION: The content analysis of
exercise interventions in knee osteoarthritis demonstrated low scores for
moderate- to high-quality trials. Improved standardized reporting is recommended
to ensure knowledge transfer and replication of effective exercise programs for
individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
