Treatment to target supported by rehabilitation and equipments for patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Basic therapy, pharmacotherapy, surgery and rehabilitation have been provided as the main remedies for patients with rheumatoid arthritis（RA）. Nowadays, after the introduction of the Biologics（Bio）, the position of pharmacotherapy among these remedies seems more important and well-situated. On the other hand, in the RA treatment guideline 2014, rehabilitation with exercise and occupational therapy is recommended, and these therapies are necessary to increase activities of daily living of RA patients. In this report, we describe the effectiveness of some devices and the home exercise instruction that is based on the community-based integrated-care system of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
