Kuntze G, et al. - Researchers examined youth with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and typically developing (TD) youth for the differences in gait kinematics during fixed speed treadmill walking. They used a 12-camera system (Motion Analysis, USA) to obtain sagittal plane gait kinematics for youth with JIA (n=30) and their age and sex matched TD peers (n=30). Outcomes revealed that the close packed knee position, commonly associated with joint inflammation and pain, is avoided by youth with JIA despite low disease activity. Secondary consequences of JIA were thus suggested. They recommend that while providing physiotherapy management to youth with JIA these findings should be considered.
