Brief Summary  

Efficacy of structured exercise protocol on Hand Dysfunction in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis of Hand A Randomized Controlled Trial

NEED FOR THE STUDY:

       Literature reports a wide range of point and period prevalence of 0.46% Rheumatoid Arthritis affects the functional status,work performance and quality of life in individuals for longer period of time

     A well design protocol aims to address muscle weakness and reduce the impact of Rheumatoid Arthritis it promots better mobility and functionality for individuals affected by this condition

The Purpose of the structured rehabilitation protocol is to evaluate the effect of strengthening exercises for increasing muscle strength .Therefore this self structured protocol is designed to overcome these challenges and helps an individual to lead a contemporary life.

RESEARCH QUESTION

Is there any effect of Structured exercise protocol on hand dysfunction in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis of hand?

AIM AND OBJECTIVES

AIM

To find the efficacy of Structured exercise protocol on hand dysfunction in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis of hand

 

OBJECTIVES

1.     To Study the effect of Exercise protocol on Pain using Visual Analog Scale.

2.     To Study the effect of Exercise protocol on Grip Funtion by using Sollerman hand Questionnaire.

3.     To Study the effect of Exercise protocol on Strength using hand dynamometer.

Hypotheses

Null Hypothesis (H0)

There will not be any significant effect of exercise protocol on hand dysfunction in improving Range of motion ,reduction in pain in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis of hand

 

 

Alternative Hypothesis (H1)

There will be effect of exercise protocol on hand dysfunction in improving Range of motion ,reduction in pain in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis of hand
