Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Patients in the exercise group performed a program of strengthening, stretching and resistance upper limbs exercises, of 30 minutes duration daily, for 12 weeks. Performance of daily activities was evaluated with the DASH and HAQ questionnaires, grip and pinch strength with the Jamar dynamometer and pinch gauge tools respectively, dexterity with the Purdue pegboard test and the quality of life with the LUPUSQoL questionnaire at 0, 6, 12 (end of the exercise program) and 24 weeks for both groups. SLE activity and cumulative organ damage were evaluated with the SLE disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) and SLICC/ACR-DI, respectively.
