Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month occurs in March for Canada and July in the United States.
In Canada, approximately 61,500 children live with arthritis. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common rheumatic disease in childhood. It is characterized by persistent inflammation in the joints that causes pain, stiffness and swelling. Physical activity is important for children with arthritis. These children can develop weak muscles and low bone strength because of their condition and because they tend to be less physically active than children who don't have arthritis.
The Linking Exercise, Activity, and Pathophysiology in Childhood Arthritis the Canadian Collaborative Team (LEAP) is studying the link between physical activity and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The work of the LEAP team will provide information and help develop safe and effective exercise programs to keep children with arthritis healthy and improve their quality of life.
Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month is about supporting research and helping kids with arthritis be kids!
