Position sense at the proximal interphalangeal joint is distorted in patients with rheumatoid arthritis of finger joints

Abstract: SUMMARYThe results of this investigation demonstrate, using a position matching paradigm, that the ability of subjects to detect changes in the position of the proximal interphalangeal joint is impaired in patients with rheumatoid arthritis affecting this joint. In this group there is a systematic flexion bias in position judgements compared to an age-and sex-matched control group. This bias becomes progressively more pronounced at more extended positions. These results suggest that chronic inflammatory joint … Show more

“…However, alternative methods involving repeated measurements of single joint positioning rather than the whole limb were not functionally relevant [3,5,8,10]. Furthermore, due to the design of the experiment, the data is only relevant to those with upper limb CRPS.…”

“…In addition, we wished to determine whether there was a relationship between limb position accuracy and self-perception of the affected limb. Given that vision of the limb plays an important role in updating the body schema [8,10] we aimed to establish the extent to which vision may contribute to limb positioning accuracy. By addressing these aspects we set out to provide insights into the mechanisms of limb position performance in CRPS and how this knowledge might inform clinical practice.…”

“…In contrast and as a probable consequence of the agerelated decline of kinesthetic reafferences (Diener et al 1984;Ferrell et al 1992;Madhavan and Shields 2005;Shaffer and Harrison 2007;Goble et al 2009;Wright et al 2011), there was a significant increase in beta power in the left superior parietal lobule in the elderly when both hands were used as opposed to the right hand alone. This result suggests that the motor system does not favor a tactile kinesthetic mechanism in order to control bimanual tapping movements that in turn might explain the absence of reduced bimanual variability in the elderly.…”

“…The bar graphs depict the mean activity of the beta generators at the locus of the minimal p value. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, # p = 0.07 HSD Tukey test of aging (Diener et al 1984;Ferrell et al 1992;Fitzpatrick and McCloskey 1994;Wright et al 2011). Similarly, elderly subjects have been shown to experience more difficulties while performing cycling bimanual movements when they have to rely exclusively on their intrinsic sources of sensory information (Swinnen et al 1998).…”
