THE INFLUENCE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY ON THE X-RAY PRESENTATION OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS IN CHILDREN
Keywords:
rheumatoid arthritis, X-ray presentation, physiotherapyAbstract
The paper presents the results of analyzing the radiological symptoms over the course of treatment in 426 patients at the end of a one-month physiotherapy course and at 3-6 and 12 months post-treatment. The study showed that rapid changes in the X-ray picture of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during treatment could only be observed in the anterior upper fold of the knee joint, where changes in the amount of synovial fluid have their radiological reflection. Additionally, the heterogeneous density of the content of the fold allows conclusions about recurrences of inflammation, especially when compared with clinical and laboratory data on the degree of its activity.
