Exercise methods for acute rheumatoid arthritis

Suffering from acute rheumatoid arthritis will seriously affect your physical health, and if this disease is not treated correctly, it will have a great impact on your future life. Therefore, many patients want to fully understand the exercise methods for acute rheumatoid arthritis. For many patients with this disease, you can see the detailed answers below.

Exercise for rheumatoid arthritis requires certain methods and periods. For example, patients with acute active rheumatoid arthritis should rest in bed. After the acute inflammation disappears through treatment, they should exercise according to their physical condition. The amount of activity can be adjusted based on the response after the activity. If joint pain worsens after activity, it means you are overactive and should make appropriate adjustments. The amount of activity should increase from small to large, the time from short to long, and the number of activities from few to many. Through activities, we can enhance physical fitness, boost spirits, maintain joint mobility, improve joint function, and avoid joint spasms, stiffness and muscle atrophy.

Within the limits of your body's tolerance, you should do active and passive four-leg exercises in bed. During the remission period, physical therapy and massage should be used to promote local blood circulation, and the joints should be actively moved to promote the absorption of inflammation. Because inflammation can damage and destroy the joint capsule, synovium and ligaments, and at the same time, they are constantly regenerating and repairing, and this repair is carried out according to the state of joint movement. If the joint is kept immobile for a long time, the repaired joint will become stiff and adherent. Therefore, proper activities can prevent joint stiffness and muscle atrophy. For example, do finger stretching exercises frequently to achieve the maximum range of joint motion as much as possible. Regularly soaking in a warm pool is also a great way to relieve sore joints.

(1) Try to do it in the early stages of the disease;

(3) The number of daily exercises and the amount of exercise each time should not be excessive;
