Functional capacity, strength, and quality of life in children and youth with familial Mediterranean fever.
[familial mediterranean fever]
To
examine
functional
capacity
and
muscle
strength
in
children
and
youth
with
familial
Mediterranean
fever
(
FMF
)
as
compared
with
controls
,
and
to
assess
whether
these
factors
influence
quality
of
life
(
QOL
)
in
FMF
.
A
total
of
100
subjects
with
FMF
and
55
control
subjects
(
8
-
18
years
old
)
without
known
health
issues
were
enrolled
in
the
study
.
The
6
-
Minute
Walk
Test
(
6
MWT
)
was
used
to
evaluate
functional
capacity
.
Quadriceps
strength
was
measured
with
a
hand
-held
dynamometer
.
Quality
of
life
was
evaluated
with
the
Pediatric
Quality
of
Life
Inventory
4
.
0
(
PedsQL
4
.
0
)
.
Significant
differences
were
found
between
subjects
with
FMF
and
controls
in
the
6
MWT
and
strength
test
.
PedsQL
scores
of
subjects
with
FMF
were
significantly
lower
than
the
scores
of
the
controls
.
The
6
MWT
and
quadriceps
strength
were
weakly
correlated
with
the
PedsQL
.
Subjects
with
FMF
displayed
lower
functional
capacity
and
QOL
than
peers
who
are
healthy
.
Decreased
functional
capacity
was
correlated
with
decreased
QOL
in
those
with
FMF
.
