In addition, the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance formed a physical activity working group that will support the implementation of
the Environmental and Policy Strategies to Increase
Physical Activity among People with Arthritis report.
Some examples of strategies included in the report
are having clinicians ask their arthritis patients at every visit about their physical activity levels and
screening for arthritis-specific barriers to physical activity. Physical activity can have many benefits for patients with arthritis and other common chronic
conditions, but pain and fatigue may prevent activity.
