Sponsor's own description

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the prevalence of joint complaints in nursing home residents with and without dementia. Primary objective: Number of tender or swollen joints. Secondary objectives: 1. Only when it is possible for the nursing home resident to provide us this information: how nursing home residents themselves assess the severity of their joint complaints that day (at that time). If the nursing home resident cannot answer this question (reliably), the investigators use the Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Severe Dementia (PACSLAC-D). 2. Investigate mobility limitations among nursing home residents. 3. To understand whether an accurate (differential) diagnosis for the joint complaints is reported in the electronic files. During the study, a standard physical examination of the musculoskeletal system will performed. Nursing home residents allocated in group 1 (no dementia) also provide an answer on 3 non-incriminating questions (severity of joint complaints, pain in general and general health). Nursing home residents allocated in group 2 (dementia) answer, if possible, 1 non-incriminating question (pain in joints at that moment). These question(s) and the physical examination are also widely used in daily clinical practice. No further incriminating questions or questionnaires will be administered. If the nursing home resident cannot answer this question (reliably), the investigators use the PACSLAC-D.
