Rheumatoid arthritis, it is the disease or disorder that affects many joint of the body which includes hands and feet.

A patient has severe rheumatoid arthritis affecting her hands. Following measures can be taken to facilitate optimum nutrition if a patient has severe rheumatoid arthritis affects on her hands is to determine her food preferences, provide adaptive utensils to her for example with large handles and attach a plate guard to the plate which allows a patient to push the food up against the plate guard.
