Brief Summary

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood. While JIA usually affects the ankle and knee joints, it can also affect hip, cervical spine and shoulder involvement. Secondary problems such as spine involvement or lack of weight transfer may lead to scoliosis. The aim of this study was to perform scoliosis screening in children with JIA and to evaluate families' awareness of scoliosis.

Conditions

Scoliosis; Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis; Awareness

Keywords

scoliosis; Juvenile idiopathic arthritis; Awareness; spine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Assesment of angle of trunk rotation

  Angle of trunk rotation (ATR) will be evaluated with Scoliometer.It is an easy-to-use, reliable, practical specially designed inclinometer for scoliometer. The evaluation will be done with Adam's Bend test, in the standing forward bending position. Child's feet will be positioned parallel to each other. The physiotherapist who measures to adjust the distance between the feet, by placing one foot between the two feet of the child, by moving the scoliometer from the beginning of the thoracic to the sacrum, the largest measured angle of rotation will be recorded.

  Baseline

• Radiological imaging

  Radiological imaging shows vertebrae' lateral tilt degree. It calculated with Cobb angle method. The Cobb angle provides information about the degree of scoliosis.i It is accepted as a clinical evaluation method used in giving information about scoliosis and determining the effectiveness of treatment and prognosis of scoliosis.
