Abstract
GARCIA, María Azul; VACCARONI, María Eugenia; ABRAHAM, Paula Romina and FRANCO, Lorena. Reference values for the 1-minute sit-to-stand test in pediatric patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2024, vol.35, n.1, pp.3-10. ISSN 0327-4411. http://dx.doi.org/10.47196/rar.v35i1.806.
Introduction:
children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) experience periods of pain and immobility that affect their physical capacities.
Objectives:
to describe reference values for the 1-minute sit to stand test (1-STS) in children with JIA as an assessment of aerobic-functional capacity and lower limb muscle strength.
Materials and methods:
an observational study was conducted, including 15 children with JIA aged between 5 and 16 years. Their performance in the 1-STS was assessed.
Results:
a significant positive correlation was found between the 1-STS and the 6-Minute Walk Test (r=0,56; p=0,03), as well as with the Functional Capacity Index (CAPFUN) (r=0,54; p=0,03). No significant correlations were observed between the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) and the 1-STS (r=-0,21; p=0,44), nor with the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS-10) (p=0,83).
Conclusions:
the 1-STS appears promising for assessing aerobic-functional capacity and lower limb muscle strength in children with oligoarticular JIA.
