简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between grip endurance, disability of upper extremity and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
详细描述
Upper extremity functions affect the quality of life at different levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the current literature; it has been shown that grip endurance is associated with upper limb functions. However, there is no study investigating the relationship between grip endurance and quality of life in patients with RA. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between grip endurance, disability of upper extremity, and quality of life in patients with RA.

结局指标
主要结局
Static Grip Endurance
时间窗: Data collection will continue until December 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by September 2020.
Static grip endurance was evaluated by Hand Dynamometer (Lafayette Proffessional Hand Dynamometer, USA). The maximum gripping time of 50% of the maximum grip force was recorded.
Dynamic Grip Endurance
时间窗: Data collection will continue until December 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by September 2020.
Dynamic grip endurance was evaluated by Hand Dynamometer (Lafayette Proffessional Hand Dynamometer, USA). The percentage change between the first 3 grips and the last 3 grips after 10 consecutive grips is recorded.
次要结局
- Quality of Life Parameters(Data collection will continue until December 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by September 2020.)
- Disability of Upper Extremity(Data collection will continue until December 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by September 2020.)
