[Rehabilitation of children with chronic inflammatory arthritis].
All children with chronic arthritis require rehabilitation. Indications of the various techniques are mainly dependent upon the stage of the disease. The choice of the most appropriate technique (preservation of articular mobility, preservation of the muscular strength, orthoses) are based on an accurate assessment of each joint and on imaging. Specific measures are indicated for each localisation. The handicaps resulting from the disease and from its treatments (corticosteroids) should be reduced by adequate information of the family, adaptation of the living environment, and technical helps.
