This study evaluated the quality and reliability of rheumatoid arthritis exercise videos on YouTube and TikTok. Out of 214 videos assessed, 50 from each platform were analyzed. YouTube videos had significantly more views, likes, and were more often uploaded by doctors compared to TikTok. They were also longer and scored higher on the DISCERN, Global Quality Scale (GQS), and JAMA scoring systems, indicating better quality and accuracy. The study concludes that YouTube is a more reliable source for RA exercise videos, emphasizing the importance of healthcare professionals providing accurate and high-quality health information.
