Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The present study is focused on hydrotherapy versus land-based exercises on pain and quality of life (QoL) among patient with rheumatoid arthritis aiming to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of hydrotherapy exercises versus land-based exercises to decrease pain and improve quality of life (QOL) among patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Objectives of the study were to assess and compare the effect of hydrotherapy exercises versus land-based exercises of pain using a Numeric Rating Pain Scale, to assess and compare the effect of hydrotherapy exercises versus land-based exercises on quality of life using RJQOL-22 scale, to find out the association between the pre-test score of hydrotherapy versus land-based exercise of pain and quality of life with selected demographical variable and to find out the association between the pre-test score of hydrotherapy versus land-based exercise of pain and quality of life with selected clinical variable.
