Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the functional impairment, disability and articular damage of rheumatoid hand and to examine the relationships among range of motion (ROM), grip strength, pinch strength, disease activity parameters and radiological findings of articular damage. Methods: Thirty women with seropositive rheumatoid arthtritis (RA) fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology criteria were included. Hand and wrist pain and patient’s impression of disease severity were assessed by 010 visual analog scale. Grip strength, lateral pinch and range of motion of the dominant hand were evaluated. Hand deformities of the patients were noted. Disability was assessed using the Duruoz hand index and Hand functional index was used for assessment of functional impairment. Hand radiographs were taken to detect articular damage using modified Sharp Index. Total score of joint tenderness was measured using Ritchie articular index. Laboratory activity was measured with erythrocyte sedimentation rate and Creactive protein levels. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.4±8.8 years. The patients with uncorrectable ulnar deviation have high hand functional index scores, long disease duration, decreased wrist range of motion and grip strength. Both Duruöz hand index and hand functional index were significantly correlated with disease duration, patient’s impression of disease severity, wrist range of motion and grip strength values. Conclusion: Hand functional impairment, disability and articular damage were found strongly related with disease duration, wrist range of motion and grip strength values. So, in clinical practice, wrist range of motion and grip strength may be used as predictors of disability and articular damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Özet

Amaç: Romatoid artritli (RA) hastalarda elde fonksiyonel yetersizlik, dizabilite ve eklem hasarını değerlendirmek ve eklem hareket açıklığı, el kavrama gücü, pinç kavrama gücü, hastalık aktivitesi parametreleri ve eklem hasarının radyolojik bulguları ile ilişkisini incelemekti. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 1987 American College of Rheumatology kriterlerine gore tanı konmuş 30 kadın seropozitif romatoid artrit hastası dahil edildi. El ve el bilek ağrısı ve hastanın değerlendirdiği hastalık aktivitesi vizuel analog skala ile değerlendirildi. Hastaların el kavrama gücü, lateral parmak ucu kavrama ve dominant el eklemlerinin eklem hareket açıklıkları değerlendirildi. Hastaların el deformiteleri kaydedildi. Dizabilite Duruöz el indeksi ile, fonksiyonel yetersizlik El Fonksiyonel İndeksi ile değerlendirildi. Eklem hasarı, standart önarka el grafisi çekilerek Modifiye Sharp indeksi ile değerlendirildi. Total eklem hassasiyeti skoru Ritchie artiküler indeks ile ölçüldü. Laboratuvar aktivite eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı ve C reaktif protein düzeyleriyle ölçüldü. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 47.4±8.8 yıldı. Düzeltilemeyen ulnar deviasyonu olan hastaların el fonksiyonel indeks skorları yüksek, hastalık süreleri uzun, el bilek eklem hareket açıklıkları ve kavrama güçleri azalmış olarak tespit edildi. Hastalık süresi, hastanın değerlendirdiği hastalık aktivitesi, el bilek eklem hareket açıklığı ve kavrama gücü hem Duruöz el indeksi hem de El Fonksiyonel İndeksi ile ilişkili bulundu. Sonuç: Elin fonksiyonel yetersizliği, dizabilite ve eklem hasarı ile hastalik süresi, el bilek eklem hareket açıklığı ve kavrama gücü arasında kuvvetli ilişki bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak el bilek eklem hareket açıklığı, ve kavrama gücü dizabilite ve eklem hasarını öngörmede klinik pratikte kullanılabilir.
