In brief

This study will examine the benefits of a monitored physical activity program for participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) using a wearable activity device (e.g.fitbit). The goals of this pilot study are to examine 1) whether an incentive is better than no incentive in maintaining an increased level of physical activity and 2) the benefits of physical activity on patient reported disease activity in inflammatory arthritis.
