APPENDIX A
Rate Your Arthritis

This Arthritis Status Test is used by arthritis centers to evaluate the status
of their patients. You can score your own arthritis, and you can follow your
own progress over time. For reference, compare your scores with those of
patients at the Stanford Arthritis Center, provided in the "How to Interpret
Your Score" section.
