title: Managing arthritis in the elderly.
abstract: The allied health care professional does not need to feel confused or overwhelmed by the presentation of arthritis. In over 90% of cases, a physician can identify which family a patient belongs to during the initial assessment. There are only three types of therapy for rheumatic disease patients, and the next 10 years will see impressive advances in all these areas.
