Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Handwriting is a commonly reported functional limitation for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The aim of this study was to evaluate handwriting in children with JIA.
RESULTS: Twelve children (mean age 13.0 years, SD = 1.9; range 9.1 to 15.6 years) with JIA completed the Detailed Assessment of Speed of Handwriting (DASH). The presence of hand and wrist arthritis, grip strength, disability, pain, and quality of life (QOL) was also assessed. The mean DASH score was 34.5th percentile (SD = 22.5). Eight (75%) scored below the 50th centile. DASH scores were negatively associated with grip strength (r = -0.31).
CONCLUSIONS: Handwriting difficulties are common in children with JIA. Handwriting assessment may be helpful to direct treatments, and advocate for support and accommodations in school.

摘要：
背景：手写是幼年特发性关节炎（JIA）儿童的一种常见的功能限制。这项研究的目的是评估JIA儿童的笔迹。
结果：12名儿童（平均年龄13.0岁，SD=1.9；范围9.1至15.6年），JIA完成了手写速度（DASH）的详细评估。手和手腕关节炎的存在，握力,残疾,疼痛,还评估了生活质量(QOL)。平均DASH评分为34.5百分位数(SD=22.5)。八分（75％）得分低于50分。DASH评分与握力呈负相关(r=-0.31)。
结论：书写困难在JIA儿童中很常见。手写评估可能有助于指导治疗，并倡导学校的支持和住宿。
