Correlation of generalized joint hypermobility and selective joint hypermobility with physical activity in school going children of age 6 to 12 years
Journal Title: Panacea Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Joint hypermobility is a common condition among infants and young children Several complications like joint pain instability dislocation frequent ligament injuries are commonly associated in children with joint hypermobility Due to these complications children may show poor control of pain disruption of normal life schooling as well as physical activities Till date very few studies evaluated school age children for joint hypermobility but no study present in central India hence this study is proposed Children of age 6 to 12 years n3019 males 1650 females 1369 were disintegrated into two groups Generalized Joint Hypermobility n 523 males 1527 females 1979 and selective joint hypermobility n 975 males 3175 females 3294 according to Beightons criteria Karl Pearsons product moment was used to evaluate correlation between hypermobility physical activity and PAQC was established Step wise regression was used to calculate correlation of anthropometric data and joint hypermobility with PAQC The r value 016 and p value 00001 showed that there was high significant negative poor correlation between joint hypermobility and physical activity in age group of 612 years This study concluded that children with selective joint hypermobility showed higher physical activity level as compared to children with generalized joint hypermobility as well as children with joint hypermobility showed moderate correlation with physical activityKeywords Joint hypermobility Generalized joint hypermobility Selective joint hypermobility Physical activity Children 612 years Correlation
