• Study Type: observational
• Target: 101

Brief Summary

Rheumatoid patients have higher fall risk than normal population. Several fall risk factors were studied. No previous study investigated the role of musculoskeletal ultrasound as a predictor of fall risk in rheumatoid arthritis.

Conditions

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Keywords

Rheumatoid arthritis; foot problems; Fall risk; predictors

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• range of motion

  measured clinically as normal or restricted

  1 week

• muscle power

  by manual testing with 5 grades where grade 5 means normal power

  1 week

• sensation

  superficial sensation reported as intact or impaired

  1 week

• type of foot

  using the wet test . three types of feet either normal, high arched or flat feet.

  1 week

• Tenitti balance assessment tool

  The maximum total score is 28 points. In general, residents who score below 19 are at a high risk for falls

  1 week

• Berge Balance assessment

  It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function A score of \< 45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling.
