- Abstract
Disorders from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) result in functional disability, with economic and social impacts on health systems. A therapeutic alternative that has been proposed is physical activity in the resisted modality. Current study analyzed the effects of resistance exercise on stairs (ERSE) on the histomorphology of the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) of Wistar rats in an experimental model of RA. Male rats (n=20) were randomly assigned to four groups. RA injury was induced by intra-articular administration of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (CFA). Results revealed that RA altered the histomorphometry of EDL fibers and that ERSE promoted muscle repair, suggesting its efficiency in restoring muscle functionality. Furthermore, ERSE may be a treatment option to improve the life quality of people with RA.
