In the treatment of RA elbow, it is important to make adequate evaluation of the joint. We advise functional evaluation with impairment level factors, such as arthralgia, ROM and elbow instability. Due to Gade's theory, we think that the range in ADL should be given more importance than other ranges of motion.<BR>In this study on 108 elbows in RA patients, we determined that the important range seemed to be 110° -130° in flexion and -40° in extension.<BR>To get an index for the functional value of motion, in the future, we intend to analyze more patients with a mathematical method such as multiple regression analysis.
