康复治疗技术在类风湿关节炎中的应用进展

摘要

类风湿关节炎(RA)是由炎症驱动的关节功能损害的慢性炎症性自身免疫性疾病,引起关节的肿胀、疼痛和僵直,严重者导致身体的残疾,同时增加罹患关节外疾病的风险.康复治疗技术是药物治疗之外的辅助干预措施,包括物理因子治疗、运动疗法以及作业疗法.物理因子治疗方式在改善RA症状和缓解炎症方面的有效性逐渐得到证实.运动疗法可减轻炎症反应,改善关节功能,减少心血管疾病发病风险,改善心理健康等.作业疗法可以使患者适应患病后的生活和工作状态,提高生活质量.%Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint dysfunction by inflammation driven autoimmune disease, with joint swelling,pain and stiffness,resulting in severe disability,while increasing the risk of suffering from extra ar-ticular disease.Rehabilitative therapy,as an auxiliary intervention beyond drug therapy,plays an important role in RA treatment, which includes physical therapy, kinesitherapy and occupational therapy. Physical therapies are effective on improving the symptom of RA and alleviating inflammation. Kinesitherapy could reduce inflammatory reaction, im-prove the joint function,reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease,and improve the mental health.Occupational therapy may help them adapt the living and working status,and improve the quality of life.
