To develop a global range of motion score (GROMS) and to investigate the association between this newly developed measure of joint range of motion and physical function in children with active juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Two scales were calculated, 1 measuring 56 selected joints and 1 measuring 10 joints assessed as important to function by experts from the British Paediatric Rheumatology Group. These were measured in 50 patients with JIA whose disability was assessed using the Child Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ).
The GROMS measuring all joints and the GROMS measuring 10 joints closely agreed with each other, and both GROMS correlated significantly with the CHAQ (r = -0.52 and -0.62, respectively).
The 10-joint GROMS is a simple, easy-to-use tool that measures overall change in joint range of motion that affects physical function in JIA.
制定全球活动范围评分（GROMS），并研究这种新开发的关节活动范围测量方法与活动期幼年特发性关节炎（JIA）患儿身体功能之间的关联。
计算了两个量表，一个测量56个选定关节，另一个测量10个经英国儿科风湿病学组专家评估对功能重要的关节。对50例JIA患者进行了测量，这些患者的残疾情况使用儿童健康评估问卷（CHAQ）进行评估。
测量所有关节的GROMS和测量10个关节的GROMS彼此高度一致，且两个GROMS均与CHAQ显著相关（分别为r = -0.52和-0.62）。
10关节GROMS是一种简单、易用的工具，可测量影响JIA患者身体功能的关节活动范围的总体变化。
