CRD SUMMARY: The review concluded that outcomes following aquatic exercise for adults with hip or knee arthritis appeared comparable to outcomes following land-based exercise. Aquatic programs provided an alternative for people who found it difficult or were unable to exercise on land. Despite not evaluating pain as an outcome, the authors' conclusions reflect the evidence presented and appear likely to be reliable.
