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