{"title":"GENDER-RELATED DIFFERENCE IN JOINT HYPERMOBILITY AMONG SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN: A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY","authors":"Wahyu Tri Sudaryanto, Ika Yuli Ayuningrum, Dylla Ramadhani Putri","doi":"10.56186/jkkb.108","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56186/jkkb.108","url":null,"abstract":"Joint hypermobility is common among school-aged children and it may progressively lead to joint pain and developmental delay. Identifying joint hypermobility in school-aged children would facilitate the monitoring of early changes and planning for early rehabilitative intervention. This study aimed to describe gender-related difference in joint hypermobility among school-aged children. A descriptive study was conducted in an elementary school in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. The study subjects were 261 students aged 6 to 12 years selected randomly. The study variables were gender and joint hypermobility. Beighton scale was used to assess joint hypermobility score. Gender-related difference in joint hypermobility among school-aged children was tested using t-test. The results of ≥4 points on Beighton scale was observed in 157 of 261 school-aged children (60.2%). Mean of Beighton score in female children (Mean= 3.87; SD= 0.19) was higher than male chidren (Mean= 4.15; SD= 1.82), but it was statistically non-significant (p= 0.256). It can conclude that there is no difference between gender in joint hypermobility among school-aged children. The need for joint hypermobility screening tests in elementary school children is highlighted.","PeriodicalId":488894,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Keperawatan Karya Bhakti","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135358106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
