Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess hand functions and wrist joint position sense in patients with and without PsA.

Description:

In this study, 54 patients (18 of them RA, 18 of them PsA and, 18 of them asymptomatic healthy group) were included. The patient group was selected from the patients who came to the Izmir Katip Celebi University Ataturk Training and Research Hospital Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic for routine control.

Participants were matched according to age and gender. It was recorded demographic and clinical data.

Grip and pinch strengths were evaluated within the scope of hand function evaluation. Wrist joint position sense was evaluated along with hand functions.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Grip Strength	Grip strenght was examined using a hand dynamometer (Lafayette Proffessional Hand Held Dynamometer, USA).	Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020.
Secondary	Two-Point Pinch Strength	It was evaluated by pinchmeter (Lafayette,USA).	Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020.
Secondary	Three-Point Pinch Strength	It was evaluated by pinchmeter (Lafayette,USA).	Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020.
Secondary	Lateral Pinch Strength	It was evaluated by pinchmeter (Lafayette,USA).	Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020.
Secondary	DASH score	The DASH score provides information about the general functionality of the upper extremity and especially activities of hand.	Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020.
Secondary	Wrist Joint Position Sense	Wrist joint position sense was evaluated by goniometric re-position error test ( in 30? wrist extansion, 3 repeat ).	Data collection will continue until September 2019. Data analysis and report preparation will be completed by August 2020.
