Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) results structural changes on wrist-hand joints, which can have negative impact on daily activities. Splints are commonly used to reduce pain and improve function of people with RA. The research shows that usage of dynamic splints improves wrist-hand function of people with other conditions.
This systematic review aims to understand impact of dynamic wrist-hand splints on daily activity functioning of people with RA.
A systematic review.
Search criteria were applied to PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and Scopus electronic databases. Only papers, January 1980 to January 2024, conducted use of dynamic wrist-hand splint for people with RA were included. Quality assessment was completed using the Jovell and Navarro-Rubio classification.
Five papers that evaluated the use of dynamic wrist-hand splint for people with RA were included. All the papers showed that use of dynamic wrist-hand splints have positive effect on people with RA, but further research is required to show effect of them on daily activity functioning.
Use of dynamic wrist-hand splints improves function and preferred to be used more commonly by the people with RA; however, there is not enough research to show its effect on daily activities as most of the research conducted had limitations. Therefore, further research is required to show the impact of dynamic wrist-hand splint of daily activities for people with RA.
类风湿性关节炎（RA）会导致手腕关节发生结构变化，这可能会对日常活动产生负面影响。夹板常用于减轻类风湿性关节炎患者的疼痛并改善其功能。研究表明，使用动态夹板可改善患有其他病症的人的手腕功能。
本系统评价旨在了解动态手腕夹板对类风湿性关节炎患者日常活动功能的影响。
系统评价。
检索标准应用于PubMed、科学网、MEDLINE、CINAHL、Cochrane图书馆、物理治疗证据数据库和Scopus电子数据库。仅纳入1980年1月至2024年1月期间针对类风湿性关节炎患者使用动态手腕夹板的研究论文。使用Jovell和Navarro-Rubio分类法完成质量评估。
纳入了五篇评估类风湿性关节炎患者使用动态手腕夹板情况的论文。所有论文均表明，使用动态手腕夹板对类风湿性关节炎患者有积极影响，但需要进一步研究以证明其对日常活动功能的影响。
使用动态手腕夹板可改善功能，类风湿性关节炎患者更倾向于更频繁地使用；然而，由于大多数已开展的研究存在局限性，尚无足够研究证明其对日常活动的影响。因此，需要进一步研究以证明动态手腕夹板对类风湿性关节炎患者日常活动的影响。
