Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The ultimate goal of treating children with lower extremity differences is to improve quality of life, optimize function, and maximize participation by addressing the physical, social, and psychological effects of lower extremity differences. In the pediatric field, research has focused on the Body Functions and Structures area of the ICF framework, such as radiographic measurements of limb alignment and length, postoperative complications, and recovery time. Priority targets for children/parents are better captured in the Activity and Participation areas of the ICF framework. Developed in Canada, the Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL)was created to evaluate outcomes for gait-related interventions for children with cerebral palsy based on a wide range of children's and parents' goals. It was also developed for other childhood conditions associated with lower extremity disorders. The present study aimed to determine the Turkish cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the "Gait Outcomes Assessment List for Children With Lower-Limb Difference Parent Version/ Child Version" in Pediatric Rheumatologic Diseases.

- measure
- Gait Outcomes Assessment List for Children with Lower-Limb Difference (GOAL-LD)
- timeFrame
- Change from baseline to 7 day
- description
- It was developed by Dermott et al. The original version of the parent- and child-reported GOAL questionnaire used in this study, consists of 44 items across seven domains: (A) Walking and getting around, (B) Pain/Discomfort/Fatigue, (C) Physical Activities, Games \& Recreation, (D) Gait Appearance, (E) Use of Braces \& Assistive Devices, and (F) Body Image \& Self-Esteem.
- measure
- 6 Minute Walk Test (6 MWT)
- timeFrame
- Baseline
- description
- The 6-minute walk test is a well-tolerated, easy-to-apply and simple test that shows the submaximal level of functional capacity. This test measures the distance that participants can walk quickly on a hard and flat surface in 6 minutes. Participants rest in a chair near the starting position for at least 10 minutes before the start of the test. Before and after the test, heart rate, blood pressure, saturation are measured, and fatigue level is determined with the Modified Borg scale. Participants are told how to perform the test. At the end of the test, the distance walked by the participants in 6 minutes will be recorded in meters.
