  This study evaluated factors contributing to activity limitations in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and found that decreased handgrip strength and hand ROM most frequently resulted in activity limitations, followed by decreased dexterity and impaired vitality. The results of this study have the following implications for occupational therapy practice: 1.) factors associated with activity limitations in people with RA are complex and varied; 2.) decreased handgrip strength and hand ROM were most strongly related to activity limitations, followed by decreased dexterity and impaired vitality; and 3.) occupational therapy evaluation of people with RA should take into consideration all the factors discussed in this article; a sole focus on activity limitations should be avoided.
