Exploring Dimensions of Stiffness in Rheumatoid and Psoriatic Arthritis: The ARAD and OMERACT Stiffness Special Interest Group collaboration.
CONCLUSION: Stiffness ratings were similar between PsA and RA. Different dimensions of stiffness were strongly correlated. Stiffness severity and impact both independently predicted mHAQ. Stiffness was important to participants, however, measuring multiple dimensions of stiffness may have minimal additive value.
