Physical activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis - an agile lifelong behaviour: a qualitative meta-synthesis.

This synthesis has identified PA as an agile lifelong behaviour in which the disease pervades all aspects of an individuals' perception of PA. Placed in a theoretical context, our findings outline a model for tailoring PA support to the drivers and determinants of a certain individual, which will improve clinical practice for the benefit of both health professionals and patients with RA.
