摘要: In 31 female patients, aged between 38 and 63 years, all studied in the remission stage of 2nd 3rd degree rheumatoid arthritis (RA), physical performance capacity some pertinent physiological factors were determined. functional tests, such as walking on level ground or stairs, RA patients performed worse (up to 60%) than a group normals same age-range. This was due both low cardiovascular fitness (25% reduction) muscle strength (between 33 52% lower), compared with normals.
