NCT05171114

Brief Summary

Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the hand is responsible for 75% of the overall disability. Management is based on systemic treatments combined with kinesitherapy aimed at maintaining joint amplitudes, improving muscle strength and preventing stiffness. The aim of this study is to describe and compare the average spontaneous and attempted reduction range of motion limitations between the dominant and contralateral hand.
