Abstract

The 37 hospitalized RA patients undergoing rehabilitation (for 4 weeks) were evaluated on effects of rehabilitation by comparing scores of ADL at the time of admission and discharge. Items of ADL were composed of 32. Items of ADL which were likely to be disabled were related to those of ADL which were influenced by rehabilitation (r = 0.7412, p < 0.01). From this result, 11 items of ADL which were likely to be disabled and influenced by rehabilitation could be selected in order. Usefulness of these selected items of ADL on evaluation of rehabilitation was admitted.
