Abstract
The level of functional achievement gained during a rehabilitation programme provides the basis for supplying aids and requesting community services on discharge. In a study of follow up regimes for patients with rheumatoid arthritis a comparison was made between functional assessments in hospital before discharge and at home shortly after discharge. A small number of the activities assessed showed a significant change at home and these changes were all towards a lower level of independence.Keywords
