Summary

Participants with rheumatoid arthritis with recommendation to physiotherapy. Created 3 study groups: 1. Only kinesiotherapy 2. Kinesiotherapy with unipolar magnetic field 3. Kinesiotherapy with bipolar magnetic field Kinesiotherapy with magnetic field give better effects than only kinesiotherapy.
