Dr. Catherine Backman Video: The Impact of Arthritis on Mothers

The Arthritis Research Centre of Canada has released a video this week featuring the work of CAOT-BC member Dr. Catherine Backman. View the video here and be sure to share this with your colleagues and via social media.

About the study
People living with arthritis have difficulties with everyday activities including caring for their children. Dr. Catherine Backman, Research Scientist with the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada, studied the impact of arthritis on moms including fatigue, financial challenges and the lack of appropriate services. She found that despite these difficulties they experienced the same joy and satisfaction as mothers who don't have arthritis.
