Walking ability test in children with JIA
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how well children with JIA (arthritis in one knee) can walk and balance, using a simple test called the Dynamic Gait Index. It aims to find a better way to measure walking problems in kids with JIA.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
