Abstract
Background: The Education, Self-management and Global Upper Limb Exercise Training for people with RA (EXTRA) programme comprises four 1-h supervised group (4–6 participants) education, self-management and functional global upper limb exercise training sessions (delivered twice weekly for the first 2 weeks), supplementing a daily home exercise regimen. It improves upper limb disability, function, strength and arthritis self-efficacy compared with usual care, with no adverse effects on disease activity at 12 weeks. The aim of this study was to conduct an economic evaluation of the EXTRA programme compared with usual care.
