Technological Based Rehabilitation on Individuals With Rheumatic Disease

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Affects such as pain, swelling, tenderness, deformities, limitations, strength and function losses, skill and coordination deficiencies in the hand joints, which are frequently seen in rheumatism patients with hand involvement, are included in body structure and function disorders within the framework of International Classification of Function System. Leap Motion Controller is used in hand rehabilitation because it is small in size, low-cost, portable, non-contact, easy to use and provides visual and auditory feedback. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of technology-based rehabilitation on joint range of motion, grip strength, functionality and disease activity in adult individuals with rheumatic disease with hand involvement; and also to compare these effects with the effects of the hand rehabilitation program implemented under the guidance of a physiotherapist and the control group that continues its routine life.

Clinical Trial Description

In the study, 45 adult individuals diagnosed with rheumatic disease with hand involvement will be randomly divided into 3 groups. The first group will be given virtual reality exercises via Leap Motion Controller. Virtual reality exercises will be applied 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. To the second group, a conventional hand rehabilitation program will be applied under the supervision of a physiotherapist. The hand rehabilitation program will be applied 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The third group will be the control group, which continues with its routine medications and is not included in any exercise program. After randomization, the individuals' joint range of motion, gross and fine grip strength, functionality, and disease activities will be evaluated. Evaluations will be made twice, at the beginning and at the end of the 8-week program. Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS 28), hand dynamometer, picnometer, Jebsen Hand Function Test, Nine Hole Peg Test, Duruoz Hand Index and Michigan Hand Outcome questionnairre will be used for evaluation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
