In order to cope with pain, improve quality of life and prevent kinesiophobia in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, most of the physiotherapy approaches used so far are standard. However, nowadays, it has been observed that participation in treatment has increased with game-based exercises instead of standard physiotherapy. In addition, remote monitoring applications made it possible to perform physiotherapy programs, which are an integral part of the treatment in children with JIA, who is difficult to reach the clinic due to reasons such school schedule and living area, through remote monitoring. This project aimed to investigate the effects of telemonitoring-supported game-based home exercise programs on pain, kinesiophobia and quality of life. The original aspect of our project is to include telemonitoring-supported game-based home exercise programs as an alternative physiotherapy program in children with JIA. Its contribution to clinical practice is to change the perspective of physiotherapists and children on standard physiotherapy practices, to increase their motivation, and to ensure children's participation in treatment.
This study was designed to investigate the effect of six weeks of accommodating variable-resistance training on muscle architecture, muscle strength, and functional performance in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Fifty-eight children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis were randomly allocated to the experimental group (n = 29, received the accommodating variable-resistance training) or the Control group (n = 29, received usual physical rehabilitation alone). Both groups were assessed for muscle architecture, muscle strength, and functional performance before and after treatment.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in increasing respiratory muscle strength in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
The aim of this study is to question the Turkish validity and reliability of the "The Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children Short Form (FOPQC-SF)" scale. Children/adolescents between the ages of 7-18 and diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis followed by the Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic will be included in the study. The sample size of this study was determined as at least 50. To assess the validity of the FOPQC-SF scale, participants will be administered the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 Arthritis Module, the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), and the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score.
Perception of chronic pain and related disability; occurs through the interaction of physiological and psychological processes. Pain catastrophizing is a cognitive attribution style characterized by a negative mindset and magnification of pain. Catastrophizing in children has been associated with poor functioning and higher levels of pain. Catastrophizing during the transition to adulthood is defined as an important predictor of persistent pain and central sensitivity. The number of scales assessing pain and attitudes related to pain in children is quite low. In recent years, with the adaptation of the assessment scales used for adults to children or the development of new scales, the assessment of pain and pain-related attitudes in children has begun to be provided. Pain catastrophizing scale (PCS), in 1995 Sullivan et al. for the purpose of comprehensive assessment in adults experiencing pain-related disasters. In 2003, Crombez et al. showed the validity and reliability of the scale in school-age children. For predictive validity, the scale was administered to children with chronic pain, and it was reported to predict the severity of pain and pain-related disability. Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Child (PCS-C) scale; It is a self-report measure adapted from the Adult Pain Catastrophizing Scale used to assess negative thinking associated with pain. It contains 13 items rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 = "not at all true" to 4 = "very true". Substances; rumination (4 items, e.g. "When [my child] has pain, I can't get him out of my mind"), magnification (3 items, e.g. the child has pain], thinking about other painful events"), and helplessness (6 items, e.g. "[My child's]] When I have pain, I feel that I cannot continue"). Items are aggregated across subscales to obtain a total score ranging from 0 to 52; higher scores are related to higher catastrophizing attitude. The pain catastrophizing scale was originally developed in German and later validity and reliability studies were conducted in different languages. The aim of this study is to question the Turkish validity and reliability of the "Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Child (PCS-C)" scale.
Usage including cases followed up with rheumatism diagnosis and treatment in Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Unit. The study included 50 patients with a spinal x-ray scoliosis problem, aged 8-16 years, who were diagnosed with rheumatism at least 6 months ago, whose medical treatment was stable, Risser 0-4 and exercise indication (Cobb = 10-45ͦ). Patients with additional neurological diagnosis against rheumatism, who have received any previous treatment for a spine problem, who have a mental state and who do not have the consent of their family will not be included. The cases will be divided into 2 groups by method. In the first group (n = 25), structured 3-dimensional scoliosis exercises are taught in the clinic, and the second group (n = 25) is taught conventional physiotherapy applications (posture-core applications-bennet protocols) in the clinic, and both groups are followed by the WTE method.
This study was designed to assess the effect of a 12-week aqua-plyometric (AquaPlyo) training on muscle strength, bone health, and physical ability in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Forty-eight patients with JIA were randomly allocated to the AquaPlyo group (n = 24, received an aquatic-based plyometric training program, twice/week, over 12 weeks) or the control group (n = 24, received standard exercise program). Both groups were assessed for muscle strength, bone health, and physical ability pre and post-treatment.
This study endeavored to evaluate the auxiliary effect of low-energy laser therapy (LLT) on pain, muscle performance, fatigue, and functional ability in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Sixty patients with JIA were randomly allocated to the LLT group (n = 30, received LLT in addition to the standard exercise program) or the control group (n = 30, received standard exercise program only). Both groups were assessed for pain intensity, muscle performance, fatigue perception, and functional status.
Patients having juvenile idiopathic arthritis (according to ILAR criteria) with hip arthritis were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 received hip denervation and group 2 controlled and received a subcutaneous injection of saline, and group 3 received intra-articular triamcinolone. Outcome measures included pain, tenderness, range of motion, SOLAR, HARISS score. These outcomes were measured at baseline, 2 weeks, and 16 weeks
