| Abstract |
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) result in severe joint destruction and functional disability if left untreated. We aim to develop tools that help patients with RA and PsA to understand and experience the impact of inflammatory joint disease on the integrity of their (juxta-articular) bone and increase adherence to medical treatment. In this study, we used high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) to develop 3D prototypes of patients' finger joints. HR-pQCT (XtremeCT, Scanco) measurements were performed in healthy individuals and patients with inflammatory joint disease, followed by a 3D print using the objet30 printer. Healthy participants (n = 10), and patients (n = 15 with RA and 15 with PsA) underwent a detailed, standardized interview with demonstration of printed joints. Utilizing HR-pQCT images of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) heads, high quality and exact 3D prints as prototypes were created. Erosions in different sizes and the trabecular network printed in detail were visualized, demonstrating structural reduction in arthritic vs. healthy bone. After demonstration of 3D prints (healthy vs. erosive joint, visual and haptic) 26/39 (66%) participants (including healthy volunteers) were deeply affected, often quoting "shock". Of the patients with RA and PsA, 13/15 (86%) and 11/15 (73%), respectively, stated that they would rethink their attitude to medication adherence. More importantly, 21/24 patients with RA or PsA (87.5%) expressed that they would have wished to see such 3D prints during their first disease-specific conversations. Using arthro-haptic 3D printed prototypes of joints may help to better understand the impact of inflammatory arthritides on bone integrity and long-term damage. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 February 2017.
All research outputs
#22,764,772
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#3,132
of 3,380 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#367,776
of 427,435 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#44
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,380 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 427,435 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
