Team-rehabilitation in inflammatory arthritis benefits functional outcomes along with improved body composition which is associated with improved cardiorespiratory fitness.

CONCLUSION: In patients with inflammatory arthritis, 4-week team-rehabilitation benefited body composition, level of physical functioning, activity and CRF for up to 12 months. Measures of physical function and activity were linked to HAQ over time, whereas body composition was linked to CRF. PMID: 33526616 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
