[PDF][PDF] Comparing the effect of proprioceptive retraining technique against home exercise programme on hand functions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
ABSTRACT Introduction: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune, inflammatory disease
that causes progressive destruction in the joints with the hands and wrists being the most
frequent actively involved joint. Hand involvement significantly affects daily living activities in
RA with decreased mobility. Aim of the study was to compare the effect of Proprioceptive
retraining (PRT) technique over home exercise (HE) program on hand functions in RA.

Abstract
Introduction: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune, inflammatory disease that causes progressive destruction in the joints with the hands and wrists being the most frequent actively involved joint. Hand involvement significantly affects daily living activities in RA with decreased mobility. Aim of the study was to compare the effect of Proprioceptive retraining (PRT) technique over home exercise (HE) program on hand functions in RA.
Method: After obtaining written informed consent, forty patients with rheumatoid arthritis for more than one year duration fulfilling the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to two groups with 20 subjects each. One group received proprioceptive retraining and the other group received the home exercise programme for 8 weeks.
Result: Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 software. the hand functions in the PRt group improved significantly as compared to the HE group. Patients under both the programs showed significant improvement of hand functions after 8 weeks of intervention.
Conclusion: The proprioceptive retraining technique is more effective than home exercise programme in improving hand functions in RA patients.
