Rheumatoid arthritis, being a progressive destructive disease, is best treated by using a team approach. Besides intensive medical and surgical treatment, a definite programme of physiotherapy and occupational therapy is given. This includes educational lectures, home visits, group exercise therapy and an analysis of situations which may strain the joints. Splints and aids are supplied accordingly.
类风湿性关节炎是一种进行性破坏性疾病，最好采用团队协作的方法进行治疗。除了强化药物治疗和手术治疗外，还会提供明确的物理治疗和职业治疗方案。这包括教育讲座、家访、集体运动疗法以及对可能使关节负担过重的情况进行分析。并据此提供夹板和辅助器具。
