A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).
The Treatment
B. Treatment in herbal and traditional Chinese medicine
B.6. The alternative Electrostimulation
Electrostimulation has been applied to acupuncture to treat pain associate to the clips from the therapeutic device, are attached to the needles. This type of alternative application also was found in Ancient Egyptians and later the Greeks and Romans, dates back to thousands of years BC for treatment of pain, muscle dysfunction and sarcopenia(303).
Dr. Men'shikova IV. in the comment of combination of modern physiotherapeutic methods in rehabilitation said,"(Use of electrostimulation of smooth muscle) All patients(with RA) reported alleviation of pain and oedema in the affected joint. The rehabilitation period was 2-5 days shorter than after the traditional treatment(304).
In support to the above study, the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Ottawa, in the review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs), case-control and cohort studies comparing ES against placebo or another active intervention in patients with RA showed that electrostimulation (ES) was shown to have a clinically beneficial effect on grip strength and fatigue resistance for RA patients with muscle atrophy of the hand but the evidences were limited due to low methodological quality of the trial included(305).Electrostimulation has been applied to acupuncture to treat pain associate to the clips from the therapeutic device, are attached to the needles.
