Brief Summary

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

Objective: To evaluate what factors contribute to activity limitations in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis considering the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model.

Methods: A cross-sectional study on 81 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using instruments to measure five constructs of the component activities.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators used the ICF model to analyze factors reported to be associated with functioning and disability in individuals with RA, including dexterity fatigue, stiffness , pinch, handgrip, strength, range of motion (ROM) deficit, deformities , mental health, vitality, and pain .
