Lower Limb Biomechanical Observations in Hypermobile Children
Generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) describes an excessive range of joint movement and is associated with increased musculoskeletal injury risk, joint pain, and instability. This study compares lower limb biomechanical characteristics between children with and without GJH. Children aged 5-18 years with GJH (Beighton score ≥ 6/9 pre-puberty, ≥5/9 post-puberty) were age- and sex-matched with controls (Beighton score ≤ 2/9). Biomechanical measures…
Consensus Guidelines for the Use of Vosoritide in Children with Achondroplasia in Australia
These recommendations have been developed for healthcare professionals and institutions that are engaged in using vosoritide in the management of achondroplasia and will be revised using a formal framework for clinical guideline development once more evidence is available
The Impact of Podiatric Intervention on the Quality of Life and Pain in Children and Adolescents with Hypermobility
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of custom-made orthotics on pain, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), function and fatigue in children and adolescents with generalised joint hypermobility (GJH) and lower limb pain. Fifty-three children aged 5-18 years were fitted with custom-made polypropylene orthotics. Visual analogue scale (VAS) assessed lower limb pain severity, Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory assessed HRQoL and …
Longitudinal Fibular Deficiency
Longitudinal fibular deficiency (LFD), or fibular hemimelia, is congenital partial or complete absence of the fibula. We aimed to compare the lower limb function of children and young people with LFD to that of unaffected peers. A cross-sectional study of Australian children and young people with LFD, and of unaffected peers, was undertaken. Twenty-three (12 males) children and young people with LFD (74% of those eligible) and 213 unaffected peer…
