Exercise for osteoarthritis of the knee: Do you or a loved one been affected by osteoarthritis of the knee? Your input is needed on a review considering exercise for people with osteoarthritis of the knee?

Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on exercise for people with osteoarthritis of the knee? I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Exercise for osteoarthritis of the knee.” 

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, osteoarthriti of the knee), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing osteoarthritis of the knee, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.  

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers. 

Thank you in advance for considering!
