Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Maximum Loading

  It will be obtained using the FreeMed baropodometry platform (the FreeStep v. 1.0. 3 88 software, Sensor Medica, Guidonia Montecelio, Roma, Italy). The unit of the outcome is per cent.

  immediately after intervention

• Center of mass displacement

  It will be obtained using the FreeMed baropodometry platform (the FreeStep v. 1.0. 3 88 software, Sensor Medica, Guidonia Montecelio, Roma, Italy). The unit of the outcome is milimeter.

  immediately after intervention

• Walking speed

  It will be obtained using the FreeMed baropodometry platform (the FreeStep v. 1.0. 3 88 software, Sensor Medica, Guidonia Montecelio, Roma, Italy). The unit of the outcome ia meter/second.

  immediately after intervention

Study Arms (2)

Core based exercise group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will be undergone core based exercises program

Other: Core based exercises

Neuromuscular exercises group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will be undergone conventional neuromuscular exercises program

Other: Conventional neuromuscular exercises

Interventions

Conventional neuromuscular exercises 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.

Neuromuscular exercises group

Core based exercises 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.

Core based exercise group
