The Impact of a Physiotherapy Tele-Rehabilitation Program on the Quality of Care for Children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Objectives: To investigate the applicability and impact of a physiotherapy tele-rehabilitation program (TRP) on children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and their families.

Methods: Thirty JIA patients, applying an individualized home-exercise program (HEP), were randomly divided in the tele-rehabilitation (TRG, n=15) and control group (CG, n=15). Each TRG patient participated in a 30-minute tele-session, under a paediatric physiotherapist's supervision, twice a week, for 12 weeks.

The Greek version of the Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR).

The Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) is a new parent/patient-reported outcome measure that enables a thorough assessment of the disease status in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the parent and patient versions of the JAMAR in the Greek language. The reading comprehension of the questionnaire was tested in 10 JIA parents and patients.
