Insights

Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) show age-appropriate physical activity (PA), fundamental movement skills (FMS), and physical literacy (PL). Parental perceptions of PA risks correlate with their child's FMS and PL.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Rheumatology
  • Child Development
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can impact children's physical development and participation in physical activity.
  • Understanding fundamental movement skills (FMS) and physical literacy (PL) is crucial for assessing overall physical function in children with chronic conditions.
  • Parental perceptions of physical activity (PA)-related risks may influence children's engagement in movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess FMS and PL in children with JIA.
  • To investigate the relationship between FMS, PL, and PA levels in this population.
  • To explore the influence of parent perceptions of PA risks on children's FMS and PL.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 25 children diagnosed with JIA and their parents.
  • Assessment of FMS in a laboratory setting.
  • Measurement of PA using accelerometry data.

Main Results:

  • Children with JIA exhibited sedentary, light, and moderate to vigorous PA levels of 39.4%, 40.9%, and 18.2% of their day, respectively.
  • FMS and PL scores were generally within the average range, but varied based on affected joints (upper/lower body).
  • Parents perceiving activities like biking and climbing as risky had children with weaker locomotor skills and lower PL.

Conclusions:

  • Children with JIA demonstrated age-appropriate PA, FMS, and PL.
  • Parental perceptions of PA-related risks were found to be associated with their child's FMS and PL.
  • These findings highlight the potential role of parental risk perception in shaping children's physical development and activity engagement.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
