Tailoring Strength Training Prescriptions for People with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Prescribing strength training (ST) for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is complicated by factors (barriers and facilitators) that affect participation. It is unclear whether guidelines include recommendations beyond prescription parameters (frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression) and adequately incorporate participation factors tailored to people with RA. Objective: To summarize available recommendations to aid in the tailoring of ST prescriptions for people with RA. Methods: Medline, Embase, and CINAHL databases and gray literature were searched for guidelines, recommendations, and review articles containing ST prescription recommendations for RA. Article screening and data extraction were performed in duplicate by two reviewers.
