Development of a physical activity programme for people with recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (2015)
Journal Article
Cramp, F. A., Withall, J., Haase, A., Walsh, N., Young, A., & Hewlett, S. (2015). Development of a physical activity programme for people with recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis. Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 74(Supp 2), 1336. https://doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2015-eular.1647

Background People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are less physically active (PA) than the general population and lower PA levels are associated with work disability, reduced physical function and co-morbidities. This suggests an urgent need to identi... Read More about Development of a physical activity programme for people with recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis.
