Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence system can create personalized exercise plans for people with rheumatoid arthritis. 147 patients with mild-to-moderate disease will be split into three groups: one using the AI system via a smartphone app, one using paper exercise instructions, and one receiving standard care. The goal is to see if the AI approach improves knee flexibility, reduces pain, and boosts quality of life over 6 weeks, with follow-up for 6 months.
