我们开发了一个简单的5点量表，关节排列和运动（JAM）量表，以估计类风湿关节炎（RA）患者的关节畸形。该量表基于对正常活动范围和关节对准的百分比的估计，并且当添加到典型关节计数时需要5分钟来执行。该畸形测量具有良好的观察者间可靠性（r = 0.72），并随时间推移保持稳定。JAM评分测量与压痛和肿胀不同的关节特征，并与功能测量（步行时间，握力和自我报告的功能状态）密切相关。在解释RA患者的功能测量时，应考虑关节畸形。
We developed a simple 5 point scale, the Joint Alignment and Motion (JAM) Scale, to estimate joint deformity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The scale is based on an estimate of the percent of normal range of motion and joint alignment and requires 5 min to perform when added to a typical joint count. This deformity measure has good interobserver reliability (r = 0.72) and appears stable over time. The JAM score measures joint characteristics distinct from tenderness and swelling and correlates strongly with functional measures (walk time, grip strength and self-reported functional status). Joint deformity should be considered when interpreting functional measures for patients with RA.
