I’m writing a proposal for a trial to compare splinting with a physio regime of controlled exercise and heat in the treatment of pain, ROM & function in the wrists of rheumatoid arthritis patients.

I've thought of

* VAS for pain
* Using a goniometer for ROM
* For function…. patients’ subjective report of increased/decreased/same level of function such as the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales 2 (AIMS2-SF) or the Health Assessment Questionnaire.

Can anyone suggest any other relevant specific & validated outcome measurement ‘tools’ I could use?

Thanks,

Jeff
