ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate muscle strength of knee extensors flexo and erythrocyte sedimentation rate after isokinetic exercise program in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Method: Twenty-three patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Isokinetic muscle strength of knee flexoextensores and erythrocyte sedimentation rate is assessed before and after training with an isokinetic cycle ergometer and climber for 14 sessions, three times a week. Paired t test was employed and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The peak torque increases in flexor muscles (p ‹ 0.005) and extensors (p ‹ 0.002) of knee after experimental maneuver. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate increased (p = 0.021) after training. No correlation was observed between exercise and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p = .524 r = -.140). Conclusion: Isokinetic training in a cycloergometer and scaler for knee muscles in patients with rheumatoid arthritis increases strength, but more studies are needed to assess their safety in these patients.
