Guiding Principles and Assumptions
Coding Process and Taxonomy
Determining the target of the specific content component was based on the hierarchical taxonomy and interpretation of how the component was used (eg, description of the parameters used to implement it) and other contextualizing details in the text. The latter was particularly important for specific content components that were able to address multiple goals (eg, 'step down' might address . "strengthening" and "balance-motor learning-agility"). Descriptive content was used to justify coding where discrepancies occurred and provided qualitative text for further consideration of the taxonomy.
Additional General Principles
Where a match was possible, the researcher inserted a code of '1' to indicate its presence in the cell (otherwise '0' to indicate its absence).
Adjunctive Modalities and Intervention Modifiers
Peer (or patient) led interventions are appropriate when accompanied by a professional or other trained individual.

No mention of specific content components interpreted as seeking to improve the aerobic endurance goal. One or more of the specific content components below and codes interpret this component supports the task-specific training objective (also code YES to the specific content binary 0=no; 1=yes).

Effect modifiers
Concerns/queries
We interpreted directness based on the outcome's proximity to the clinical outcome of interest (i.e., intermediate) and whether the outcome was assessed among the individuals of interest versus. This is considered appropriate in the GRADE methods “if a meta-analysis is not feasible. or inappropriate, reviewers may consider the narrowness of the range of CIs or the significant level of p-values in the individual studies in the evidence base”.5.

Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, NR = not reported, PMID = PubMed identifier, RoB = risk of bias, SF-12 = 12-item short-form survey, SF-36 = 36-item short-form survey, SD = standard deviation.
Physical function and activities of daily living
Abbreviations: ACSE = active recovery sliding exercise, CI = confidence interval, CPM = continuous passive motion, IQR = interquartile range, mo = month, NMES = neuromuscular electrical stimulation, NR = not reported, PMID = PubMed identifier, RoB = risk of bias , SD = standard deviation, SF-36 = 36-item short form survey, WOMAC = Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. C The Iowa Level of Assistance Scale was used to assess four functional activities (moving from a lying position to a sitting position, rising from a sitting position, walking 4.57 m, and climbing and descending stairs for three steps). D The total Hospital for Special Surgery score is obtained by adding up all item scores and subtracting scores related to walking aids, loss of knee extension, and varus/valgus deformity.
Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, CPM = continuous passive motion, mo = month, NR = not reported, ns = not significant, PMID = PubMed identifier, RoB = risk of bias, s = second, SD = standard deviation, SE = standard error.
Balance
C The time required to ascend 18 stairs (flights of 8 to 10 steps, separated by a small landing) as quickly as possible using handrails and walking aids as required. Stair climbing power was calculated using this time, combined with patient's body mass index, total stair height and ascent time.

Abbreviations: Adj MD = adjusted mean difference, ADL = activities of daily living, CI = confidence interval, EQ-5D = EuroQual, KOS = Knee Outcome Survey, KOOS = Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, LEFS = Lower Extremity Functional Scale, ma = month, NR = not reported, PMID = PubMed identifier, rec = recreation, RR = relative risk, RoB = risk of bias, SD = standard deviation, SF-36 = 36-item short form survey, WOMAC = Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. C We have included the sport and recreation component of the KOOS in the table of physical function as it is most related to other domains. However, as it assesses function beyond activities of daily living, it was not included in our assessment of the evidence of ADLs for the evidence profile.
D This scale is patient-reported and differs from the other performance-based measures, but specifically relates to the patient's confidence in balance and was therefore included here.
