Summary

The most commonly used performance tests to evaluate upper extremity function in children diagnosed with rheumatic disease are the 9-hole peg test and Jebsen Taylor hand function tests. Although these tests have advantages such as being able to be applied in a short time, providing objective data, being easily applicable in the clinical environment, and being cost-effective, these tests are non-specific performance tests. Fine motor skills specific to rheumatic diseases, planned for children; There is no test battery that examines the mobility and position of each segment of the upper extremity during a function in detail.

The Shriners Hospital for Children Upper Extremity Evaluation (SHUEE) is a video-based assessment approved for use in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. In addition to spontaneous functional movement, it also evaluates the dynamical position, grip, and release movements of the upper extremity segments. Approved with a total of 22 questions/tasks observed for children aged 3-18. While the evaluation takes about 15 minutes, it takes about 15-30 minutes for the participant to score after the evaluation. The test battery can be created with the materials found in the physiotherapy clinic and is therefore very practical in terms of cost. In addition, due to the video recording of the evaluation, it provides a detailed examination opportunity to the evaluator both during and after the evaluation. However, it is superior to other tests in terms of creating a patient archive due to video recording.

This study aimed to introduce SHUEE to the literature as a new assessment tool to be used in pediatric rheumatic pathologies.

It is planned to include 25 volunteer pediatric patients diagnosed with rheumatic diseases in the study. Intra-observer and inter-observer reliability of SHUEE in children with a rheumatic diagnosis will be evaluated. For validity, the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function test and Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire will be used.
