Résumé
Video pediatric gait, arms, leg, and spine (v-pGALS) is a virtual application of the pediatric gait, arms, leg, and spine (pGALS) examination performed by video. We aimed to verify the applicability, validity, and accuracy of the Turkish translation of v-pGALS in a large pediatric patient cohort. Children aged 4-18 years seen between May and June 2022 were included. A hands-on physical examination and v-pGALS were performed. Demographics, active symptoms, physical examination findings, diagnosis, and v-pGALS findings were recorded. The acceptability of v-pGALS, in terms of additional distress and duration, was measured by the parent/patient using a visual analog scale (VAS). 102 patients (median age 12.41 years) were included. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was the most common diagnosis. The median duration of v-pGALS was 7 min. An abnormal v-pGALS was identified in 25 patients while the hands-on physical examination was abnormal in 27 patients. Scoliosis and pes planus were missed in v-pGALS. Both children and parents gave a median VAS score of 0 for additional discomfort and duration. That is, the duration of v-pGALS was acceptable for ≥98% of the patients/parents, and ≥98% mentioned that it caused little/no discomfort. The sensitivity and specificity of v-pGALS were 92.6% and 100%, respectively, for the detection of musculoskeletal (MSK) abnormalities. The v-pGALS is an applicable, accurate, and practical tool for evaluating MSK problems in children. The Turkish translation was also conveniently acceptable.

UNASSIGNED
Video pediatric gait, arms, leg, and spine (v-pGALS) is a virtual application of the pediatric gait, arms, leg, and spine (pGALS) examination performed by video. We aimed to verify the applicability, validity, and accuracy of the Turkish translation of v-pGALS in a large pediatric patient cohort.
Materials and methods
UNASSIGNED
Children aged 4-18 years seen between May and June 2022 were included. A hands-on physical examination and v-pGALS were performed. Demographics, active symptoms, physical examination findings, diagnosis, and v-pGALS findings were recorded. The acceptability of v-pGALS, in terms of additional distress and duration, was measured by the parent/patient using a visual analog scale (VAS).
Results
UNASSIGNED
102 patients (median age 12.41 years) were included. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was the most common diagnosis. The median duration of v-pGALS was 7 min. An abnormal v-pGALS was identified in 25 patients while the hands-on physical examination was abnormal in 27 patients. Scoliosis and pes planus were missed in v-pGALS. Both children and parents gave a median VAS score of 0 for additional discomfort and duration. That is, the duration of v-pGALS was acceptable for ≥98% of the patients/parents, and ≥98% mentioned that it caused little/no discomfort. The sensitivity and specificity of v-pGALS were 92.6% and 100%, respectively, for the detection of musculoskeletal (MSK) abnormalities.
Conclusion
UNASSIGNED
The v-pGALS is an applicable, accurate, and practical tool for evaluating MSK problems in children. The Turkish translation was also conveniently acceptable.
