Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease chronic, progressive, causing damage to cartilage and bone and involved joints. In general, early the disease affects the hands or feet, it can affect other joints and other body parts. Worldwide AR is affected by the 0.5-1.0% of the population, while in Europe the disease affects more than 2.9 million people. Typically, the AR is more common in women and usually occurs between 40 and 60 years of age, although it can develop at any time.
RA is a condition "symmetric", so if you involved in a joint of the left arm, also the same articulation of the right arm can thereby be affected. The joints most commonly concerned are those of the fingers and feet, wrists and ankles.
As you proceed, the AR can lead to pain chronic and severe disability, going to exercise a negative impact on the daily lives of patient and its ability perform normal daily activities.
