Q

Intervention during active flare up of JIA

A

Prevent contracture
Customized resting splints + positioning
Pain management
Avoid full bed rest, be as mobile as possible

17
Q

Intervention of chronic JIA

A

ROM to increase flexibility and decrease stiffness
Preserve max functioning with positioning
Functional splints to protect joints during activity
HEP
Modalities: caution with growth plates
Regular exercise: stretch before, low intensity

18
Q

Therapeutic exercise and JIA

A

Strengthen, improve endurance, and decrease burden on joints

-Isometrics
-AROM
-Aquatic therapy
-mod intensity aerobic conditioning <30 min

19
Q

Overall goal of JIA

A

Increase muscle strength to decrease stress on joints

20
Q

Contraindications to physical activity in JIA

A

Fever
Anemia
Acute renal failure
Carditis
Serositis
Ischemic response to treadmill test
Non controlled arrhythmias
arterial HTN
malnourishment with weight loss > 35%

21
Q

Prognostic indicators for JIA

A

polyarticular JIA + positive RF have worse prognosis
symmetrical joint involvement
Severe arthritis at onset
Early signs of wrist + hip involvement

22
Q

Complications of JIA

A

Leg length discrepancy
Changes in bone density

23
Q

Achondroplasia

A

Genetic disorder the affects skeletal development characterized by severe disproportionate short stature

24
Q

Cause of achondroplasia

A

Mutation in the gene that codes for fibroblast growth factor

25
Q

Symptoms of achondroplasia

A

Disproportionate body size w large head
Occipital bossing
Shorter limbs
Loose joints
Hypotonia
Bowing of lower legs
Normal intelligence + life expectancy

26
Q

Other risks of achondroplasia

A

Hydrocephalus
Craniocervical junction compression
Upper airway obstruction
Thoracolumbar kyphosis

27
Q

Biomechanical considerations/precautions for achondroplasia

A

Avoid flexion posture of neck and spine

Avoid too much neck bending in any direction

28
Q

Scott sign

A

Clinical measure of ligamentous laxity defined by passively opposing lateral borders of the feet when brought together in midline above the level of the pelvis in seated position
