Brief Summary

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

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is one of the common chronic diseases in childhood. Problems such as weakness or pain may occur in JIA, especially in the joints and the muscles around the trunk. These conditions may lead to abnormal displacement of the center of gravity, deterioration of biomechanics, and muscle imbalance in children with JIA. All these situations can lead to postural imbalance and asymmetrical loading pattern, which we often encounter in children with JIA. Current studies describing various exercise methods effective on postural alignment. However, no study was found in the literature that searching the effects of these exercise methods on gait parameters in children JIA.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is one of the common chronic diseases in childhood. Problems such as weakness or pain may occur in JIA, especially in the joints and the muscles around the trunk. These conditions may lead to abnormal displacement of the center of gravity, deterioration of biomechanics, and muscle imbalance in children with JIA. These conditions may lead to abnormal displacement of the center of gravity, deterioration of biomechanics, and muscle imbalance in children with JIA. All these situations can lead to postural imbalance and asymmetrical loading pattern, which we often encounter in children with JIA. Current studies describing various exercise methods effective on postural alignment. However, no study was found in the literature that searching the effects of these exercise methods on gait parameters in children JIA. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of two different exercise programs (core based exercise program against neuromuscular training) on gait parameters in children JIA.

In this study, the participants will be evaluated and then they will be divided into two groups randomly. The first group will be administered as a core based exercise program group and the second one will be undergone as a neuromuscular training group. After the interventions, they will be re-evaluted by the physiotherapist and the outcomes will be recorded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Core based exercise group

This group will be undergone core based exercises program

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Core based exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Core based exercises increase overall mobility, relieve pain, improve posture, and support spinal alignment. Especially important for children who are still growing is to slow or stop the progression of deformities because of the asymmetrical loading pattern.

Neuromuscular exercises group

This group will be undergone conventional neuromuscular exercises program

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional neuromuscular exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Conventional neuromuscular exercises represent a contemporary physiotherapeutic approach. These exercises aim to improve neuromuscular control, strength, and endurance in various muscles surrounding the included joint, contributing to the correction and maintenance of proper posture.
