CRD SUMMARY:

This review investigated the effectiveness of hand exercises in people with rheumatoid arthritis. The author concluded that there was no strong evidence for or against these interventions. Although the potential for bias in the review could not be fully assessed, the main weakness appears to have been in the primary studies. The author's conclusion therefore seems appropriate.
