What this Trial Is About
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease in children, defined as a chronic arthritis condition starting before age 16 and lasting six weeks or more with unknown cause. Despite advances in treatment, JIA causes physical and psychosocial challenges that affect daily living activities, which are recognized as essential to evaluate in all studies by rheumatology organizations. This research aims to assess the reliability and validity of the Glittre Activities of Daily Living Test for measuring daily activity performance in children and adolescents with JIA, as current measurement tools are limited and mostly subjective. The study evaluates the Pediatric Glittre Activities of Daily Living Test, modified for children aged 6 to 14, and the standard version for those aged 15 to 18, to objectively assess functional capacity in JIA patients. This test involves activities using both upper and lower limbs, offering an objective measure of physical function compared to self-report questionnaires. The research will examine test-retest reliability, construct validity, and the minimum detectable change of the test in this population. Participants aged 8 to 18 diagnosed with JIA will be involved in assessments that include the Glittre Test, Functional Reach Test, Six Minute Walk Test, Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire, Juvenile Arthritis Biopsychosocial Questionnaire, and Juvenile Arthritis Quality of Life Questionnaire. These evaluations will help identify limitations in daily activities and physical function. The study is observational and sponsored by Hacettepe University, with participation spanning baseline assessments and no experimental treatments involved.
