Living with arthritis

The different types of arthritis, symptoms, diagnosis and joints most commonly affected are explained in this tutorial. Since the occupational therapist is a key part in the treatment of patients suffering from arthritis, it is important for you to have good knowledge of this disease.

Next week we will study the main differences between two of the most important types of arthritis: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as the role of occupational therapists and the use of assistive devices to simplify daily chores.
