We evaluated our rheumatoid arthritis patient follow-up service in British Columbia in a 1 yr prospective study. The follow-up by 45 specially trained Arthritis Society physiotherapists involved contact of 1,701 patients; 1,081 were assessed and 440 were judged to need therapy or physician services; 279 required further physiotherapy, 191 had functional problems needing occupational therapy and 108 had medical problems requiring return to the family doctor. Within 2 months 72% of patients requiring physiotherapy and 84% of patients requiring occupational therapy had received their therapy. The study underlines the value of physiotherapy follow-up monitoring of rheumatoid patients.
我们在一项为期1年的前瞻性研究中对不列颠哥伦比亚省的类风湿性关节炎患者随访服务进行了评估。45名经过专门培训的关节炎协会物理治疗师进行的随访涉及1701名患者的联系；对1081名患者进行了评估，440名患者被判定需要治疗或医生服务；279名患者需要进一步的物理治疗，191名患者有需要职业治疗的功能问题，108名患者有需要返回家庭医生处就诊的医疗问题。在2个月内，72%需要物理治疗的患者和84%需要职业治疗的患者接受了治疗。该研究强调了对类风湿患者进行物理治疗随访监测的价值。
