چکیده
Results Mean CHAQ38 scores for JIA: 0.1896 (±0.2025), controls: 0.0359 (±0.0799) indicated only minimal functional impairment in both groups. Pain assessments correlated well to CHAQ38 scores in JIA (p-values <0.01). No significant differences were found between sportactive JIA-children and controls concerning type and number of sport activities or amount of time spent in sport. Significantly more JIA-children were not sportactive (38% (26/68) vs. 25% (29/118)), mainly due to joint pain (12/26) and getting short of breath/sidestitches (9/26). Significantly fewer JIA-children participated fully in gym (p<0.01) and reported pain (91% (62/68)) and difficulties with certain activities (p<0.01). Strategies mainly used when pain; a short break (81%), changing activity (58%), continuing despite pain (37%).
