Orthopaedic - additional examinations, disease classification, orthotics, report to Social Security and Traffic Department, evaluation questionnaires (SF 36, VAS, WOMAC, LEQUESNE), referral to physical therapy, physical activity and inform consent. A group will submitted to two interventions, with an interval of two months between each intervention. The control group will only make evaluations / consultations with all professional teams without classes for 2 years, then will attend the courses and will be followed by two more years. Interventions will be lectures and practices with the seven professional teams, covering the topic arthritis (orthopedic team), what is disease, being ill, and the role of the patient in the treatment (psychology) to obtain behavioral change. Lectures and practices with physical therapy and occupational therapy to show the importance of exercise in relieving symptoms (physical therapy), the importance of rest and proper ergonomics at home and at work (occupational therapy).
