Objective: Rheumatoid Arthritis [RA] is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disease on an unknown aetiology. It leads to the progressive destruction of joints. It also warrants difficulties in performance of Activities of Daily Living(ADL). This study aimed at determine relationship between activities of daily living [ADL] and functional status of the hand. Methods: This Crossectional Study was conducted at Romatology Department Children Hospital and Sheikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from June 2018 to December 2018. Convenient sampling technique helped in the collection of data. A hand function questionnaire and the Barthel Index were the contributary data collection methods. Rheumatoid Arthritis [RA] patients selected were those experiencing functional impairment in hands, having difficulty in performing ADL. Results: The patients who were able to perform the hand function test were independent in their daily life activities. Whereas, those who were not able to perk the test were dependent on their daily life activities. Conclusion: It was found that children with RA had a significant association between performing the ADL and functional status of hand.

Hand Pain

The outcome in patients having surgery to the hand was assessed subjectively using a questionnaire that covered activities of daily living (ADL), hand pain and psychological well-being. The questionnaires were completed on average 6.9 months preoperatively and 20.6 months postoperatively by 15 patients with osteoarthritis undergoing trapeziectomy and 25 patients with rheumatoid arthritis undergoing Swanson arthroplasties of the metacarpophalangeal joints. Surgery resulted in significant improvements in reported ADL and hand pain, in both groups. Improvement in perception of hand function and health was only seen in the osteoarthritic group. There was no improvement in arthritis activity, mood or quality of life in either group. These results confirm that surgery for arthritis of the hand relieves pain and improves ADL. However, it has a greater effect in patients with localized osteoarthritis than in those with rheumatoid arthritis.

Realistic Description

In studies of hand function recently carried out in Edinburgh, one of the problems was to find valid comprehensive measures of outcome following trauma or elective surgery. A small supplementary study was therefore undertaken to examine some commonly used tests of strength and dexterity, and to compare the results with the use of the hand in activities of daily living (ADL). The results indicated that ADL function was more closely correlated with strength than with dexterity. However, no test used in isolation gave a realistic description of hand function for either rheumatoid or trauma patients. It is therefore suggested that a battery of tests, including ADL assessment related to individual need, is necessary.
