Stepping Up Counseling and Referral to Effective Physical Activity Interventions for Adults With Osteoarthritis.

In "Stepping Forward: A Scoping Review of Physical Activity in Osteoarthritis," White and colleagues 1 aimed to help patients, policymakers, investigators, and healthcare providers (HCPs) better understand how physical activity (PA) is defined and measured, the benefits of PA for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), the potential role of PA in the development and/or progression of KOA, and the PA guidelines for Americans. 2 This correspondence aims to reinforce the importance of PA for adults with arthritis; clarify definitions for "inactive" and "insufficiently active" from the PA guidelines for Americans 2 and supplement White and colleagues' scoping review by (1) highlighting arthritis-appropriate evidence-based interventions (AAEBIs) for PA and self-management education; and (2) providing resources to facilitate HCP screening, counseling, and referral to evidencebased PA interventions for adults with arthritis.
