\u201cA published study demonstrating that listening to Rakugo (a\ncomic story) alleviated the pain experienced by patients with rheumatoid\narthritis (RA), accompanied by reduction in serum IL-6 and cortisol levels [1].\nOverall physical condition improvement and pain alleviation with music therapy\nhave also been reported [2]. However, only few studies have assessed the\nefficacy of occupational therapy (particularly handcraft work) in outpatients\nwith RA\u2026 The present study evaluated the usefulness of handcraft work\n(particularly ceramic art) for both physical and mental rehabilitation for\noutpatients with RA\u2026 The present study evaluated the usefulness of handcraft\nwork (particularly ceramic art) for both physical and mental rehabilitation for\noutpatients with RA\u2026 The study involved 10 outpatients with RA managed at our\nhospital (all females, all right-handed persons, mean age 63.1 years, the\naverage duration of disease was 10.7 years). For physical and mental\nevaluation, grip, pinching power, VAS score for systemic pain, 20-level FACE\nscale score, self-rating depression scale (SDS) score were measured before and\nafter participation in ceramic art craft and compared. In addition, a questionnaire\nsurvey was administered to assess patient perception of ceramic art\u2026 Right hand\ngrip was 14.3\u00b17.2 kgw before participation and 14.8 \u00b17.1 after participation in\nceramic art craft. Left hand grip was 12.1\u00b17.1 and 13.4\u00b17.1 before and after\nparticipation, respectively\u2026 Ceramic art is an activity capable of improving\nthe physical condition and mental state (alleviation of depression, etc.) of\npatients with RA and improving physical functions such as grip of opposite hand\nand dominant pinching power. It is useful in the treatment of RA, similar to\nlistening to Rakugo and music therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This great article serves to reinforce the perceived mental\nhealth benefits of art for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis while\nintroducing how specific forms of art, such as ceramics, have physical benefits\nfor improved grip and hand strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
