Evaluation of Functional Disability in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune inflammatory disease that mainly affects the joints and periarticular soft tissues. Accurate monitoring of disease activity is a cornerstone of the treat-to-target approach in Rheumatoid arthritis.
