Stephen Modica (MLS), Health Sciences Librarian at the George F. Smith Library of the Rutgers Health Sciences Libraries, is a contributing author on a recently published Systematic Review (SR) entitled, Exercise in the Aquatic Environment for People With Primary Hip Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analyses. Osteoarthritis arthritis (OA) of the hip affects 31 million Americans, and aquatic exercise is one of the options to manage this condition. The literature search for this SR began in the spring of 2015 using Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), illustrating the time it takes to complete an SRed. Stephen contributed to the methodology, and the final search strategies are published in the article. Stephen has been a Librarian for Information and Education Services at Smith Library since 1997.
