Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Joint hypermobility is the condition that the joints have a greater range of motion than normal and can be observed frequently in children. In children with joint hypermobility, motor problems, tactile and proprioceptive sensory disorders can be observed. It is very important to support children with joint hypermobility with intervention programs that are rich in both motor and sensory aspects. The aim of this project is to create an exercise protocol rich in tactile, proprioceptive senses for children with joint hypermobility and to examine the effects of using textured insoles in addition to exercise on tactile sense, balance, foot load distribution and quality of life in children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It was planned to include 40 children with joint hypermobility in the project. Children's joint hypermobility will be determined by the Beighton Score. Children will be divided into two groups. Children in both groups will be offered an exercise program consisting of home and park activities that will improve their motor and sensory aspects. Children in the intervention group will be asked to additionally use textured insoles. Before and after the study, children's plantar foot tactile sense, balance, foot load distribution and quality of life will be evaluated. Pre- and post-treatment values and change values in both groups will be compared with each other.

Control group

Exercise group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

An exercise program that can be easily applied at home and in the park, which will support the psychomotor, tactile and proprioceptive-rich sensory development specific to children with joint hypermobility. The family will be instructed to do these exercises for 30 minutes a day for 5 days in total, 2 days a week in the playground and 3 days at home for 6 weeks, and the family will be asked to keep a diary to see whether they do the exercises or not.

Intervention group

Exercise and use of textured insoles group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise+texture insoles

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In addition to exercise, children in this group will have an individual textured insoles made to suit the child's foot. The child will be asked to place textured insoles inside his shoes and use the textured insoles for 6-8 hours.
