Abstract

Background: Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) experience periods of pain and immobility that impact their physical capacities. This study aimed to describe reference values for the One Minute Sit to Stand Test (1-STS) in children with JIA as an assessment of lower limb muscle strength. Methods: An observational study included 15 children with JIA aged 5 to 16 years. Their performance in the 1-STS was evaluated. Results: Children with JIA (n=15) achieved 40.73±10 repetitions in the 1-STS. A significant positive correlation was found between the 1-STS and the 6-Minute Walk Test (r=0,58; p=0,02), as well as with the Functional Capacity Index (CAPFUN) (r=0.54; p=0,04). No significant correlations were observed between the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) and the 1-STS (r=-0,20; p=0,49), nor with the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS) (p=0,82). Conclusion: Children with JIA demonstrated reduced lower limb muscle strength values compared to healthy children of the same age. The 1-STS can be considered to evaluate the muscle weakness in this population.
