Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Functional training versus resistance training in improving functional capacity, muscle strength, quality of life and disease activity in patients with PSA.

Conditions

Psoriatic Arthritis

Keywords

Functional training; Physical exercise; Psoriatic arthritis; Quality of life

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in the functional capacity

  Evaluated by HAQ-S Health Assessment Questionnaire for the Spondyloarthropathies. There are 20 questions where the score ranges from zero to three. The higher the score, the greater the degree of functional impairment of the patient.

  Baseline, after 45 and 90 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Change in the quality of life

  Baseline, after 45 and 90 days

Study Arms (2)

Intervational

EXPERIMENTAL

FT: Functional training with elastic band Underwent resistance exercise twice a week, for twelve weeks for the following muscles group: upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk. It was carried out two exercises for major muscle groups and one exercise for small muscles. The exercises were divided in 3 sets of 12 repetitions for each muscle group. The exercise program involved pectoral exercises: crucifix and seat supine; biceps: alternated screw; triceps: triceps pulley; back: standing handsaw and pulled ahead; quadriceps: leg extensor and finally gluteus: standing hips extension.

Other: Resistence Exercise

Arms and Interventions

EXPERIMENTAL

Resistance exercise with weight training machines. Underwent resistance exercise twice a week, for twelve weeks for the following muscles group: upper limbs, lower limbs and trunk. It was carried out two exercises for major muscle groups and one exercise for small muscles. The exercises were divided in 3 sets of 12 repetitions for each muscle group. The intensity of the exercises was 60% of one-maximum repetition (1RM). The exercise program involved pectoral exercises: crucifix and seat supine; biceps: alternated screw; triceps: triceps pulley; back: standing handsaw and pulled ahead; quadriceps: leg extensor and finally gluteus: standing hips extension.

Other: Resistence Exercise
