Brief Summary

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory arthritis in adults. Monitoring of disease activity is based on Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS 28). There are also validated questionnaires for self-assessment of the disease by the patient. Grip strength measured using a digitized sensor used by the patient could be an additional tool to the remote monitoring of patients with RA. Main Objective : To evaluate the correlation between the measurement of grip strength in the dominant hand measured by a digital sensor and activity of RA assessed by DAS 28 Secondary objective : Evaluate the correlation between grip strength of the dominant hand and :

• scores of fatigue and pain (VAS and FACIT)
• the self-assessment scores known in RA : functional index Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and scores of activity RAPID3 and RADAI5. It is a cross-sectional study involving 150 patients followed in our department for RA. Grip strength of the dominant hand will be measured by a digitalized sensor during a single visit integrating into the routine monitoring of patients.
