Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month occurs in March in 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, and it is characterized by persistent inflammation in the joints that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling. Physical activity is essential 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 Canadian Collaborative Team (LEAP) studies 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!
