Differences in participation between young adults with cerebral palsy and their peers: A cross-sectional multicentre European study.

Background: Children and adolescents with disabilities are known to participate less in most areas of life than their non-disabled peers.

Objectives: (1) To estimate differences in participation between young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and their non-disabled peers; (2) to test the mediating role of financial difficulties and student status; (3) to test the moderating role of personal factors on participation difference; and (4) to test the moderating role of impairment.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in young adults [19-28 years] with CP (n = 228) and non-disabled peers (n = 2861) in France, Germany and Sweden.

The evaluation of a patient with knee osteoarthritis (OA) has 3 main components: clinical history, physical examination, and radiographic imaging. The clinician should assess for inciting and aggravating factors for the knee pain as well as for the presence of any mechanical symptoms. A history of prior knee injury or surgery can suggest the development of early osteoarthritis.
