Plain-language summary

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood. While JIA usually affects the ankle and knee joints, it can also affect hip, cervical spine and shoulder involvement. Secondary problems such as spine involvement or lack of weight transfer may lead to scoliosis. The aim of this study was to perform scoliosis screening in children with JIA and to evaluate families' awareness of scoliosis.
