Research priorities for physical activity and exercise management of people with knee and hip osteoarthritis: A multi-stage international priority-setting study from the OARSI Rehabilitation Discussion Group.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify research priorities for physical activity and exercise management of knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA).

Design

We used a multi-stage process involving an international multi-disciplinary panel of 276 experts (150 consumers, 69 clinicians spanning 5 disciplines, 54 researchers, and 3 funder/consumer organisation representatives) from 26 countries. The process included: 1) compiling a list of unanswered research questions from existing research; 2) assembling the panel and generating additional questions from members via an online survey; 3) consolidating research questions (eg. removing duplicates); 4) scoring questions for priority by the panel on an 11-point numeric rating scale (0='not a priority at all; 10='highest priority') via another online survey
