Physiotherapy in subtropic climate improves functional capacity and health‐related quality of life in Swedish patients with rheumatoid arthritis and spondylarthropathies still after 6 months
Objective : The objective was to prospect ively evaluate the short as well as the long‐term effects of intensive physiotherapy in a stable , sunny and warm climate on physical function and health related quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ) and spondylarthropathies ( SpA ) . Methods : Ninety‐three Swedish patients with RA and SpA receiving physiotherapy for 4 weeks in Israel or Tenerife were followed for 6 months . Physical function was evaluated by the Swedish version of Stanford Health Assessment Question naire ( HAQ ) and quality of life by the  Nottingham Health Profile ( NHP )  question naire . Results : There were significant improvements in HAQ‐scores and global NHP‐scores as well as all subcategories of NHP immediately after the treatment abroad , effects that were still measurable after six months . At that time point nearly half of the patients had clinical ly meaningful reduction of HAQ‐scores ( ≥0.25 ) . Conclusion : Physiotherapy in a warm and stable climate , with many hours of daily sunshine , is a valuable treatment complement for Swedish patients with RA and
