Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will investigate if an electronic dataglove can be used to measure joint stiffness in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We will use a dataglove to record joint movements in a small number of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of the study is to find out if changes in dynamic movements measured by the glove will correlate with symptoms of joint stiffness in the hands of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
