Excellent interobserver and intraobserver reliability (reproducibility) was seen for the grip strength, walking time and button test measures in 40 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), when measurement was performed according to a standard protocol. Evidence of reliability, coupled with the observation that baseline measures predict longterm morbidity and mortality in individual patients, suggests that these measures might be more widely used in general rheumatologic care.
在40例类风湿性关节炎（RA）患者中，按照标准方案进行测量时，握力、行走时间和纽扣试验测量结果显示出极好的观察者间和观察者内可靠性（可重复性）。可靠性证据，再加上基线测量可预测个体患者的长期发病率和死亡率这一观察结果，表明这些测量方法可能会在一般风湿病护理中得到更广泛的应用。
