Article Synopsis
- The systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of digital interventions aimed at improving physical activity adherence in people with inflammatory arthritis through a thorough analysis of randomized controlled trials and cohort studies.
- A total of four studies were identified, showing mixed results, with only one randomized controlled trial indicating a minor improvement in physical activity adherence for those receiving the intervention.
- Overall, the evidence is limited and of moderate quality, suggesting that current web-based and mobile health interventions may not significantly enhance physical activity levels in this population.
