Summary

The purpose of this study is to test two rehabilitation programs to improve arm function for patients with scleroderma. This is a Phase 2 randomized controlled trial in which participants will be assessed at baseline, 8 weeks, and 18 weeks. Participants will be randomized into an intensive intervention (8 individual sessions of occupational therapy plus a home exercise app) versus a home app treatment alone. The results of this study will be used to design a large multi-site trial in which optimized rehabilitation strategies can be used to help patients improve their arm function.
