NCT ID NCT06870045
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a walking test called the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) is a reliable way to measure walking difficulties in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Researchers will compare 26 children with JIA to 26 healthy children, all aged 8-16. The goal is to see if the DGI can be a useful tool for doctors to assess and track walking problems in kids with rheumatic diseases.
