EFFECT OF ENERGY CONSERVATION AND JOINT PROTECTION EDUCATION EN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
1994
As there is relatively little information about the effectiveness of occupational therapy (OT) in RA a questionnaire was devised to assess whether patient knowledge and performance of joint protection manoeuvres improved following OT intervention and, if improved, whether this was sustained over 6 months.

The study population consisted of 55 patients with RA attending a rheumatology clinic who had not previously had OT treatment. Patients had a single instruction/treatment session with an occupational therapist of 1-h duration
