Effects of Telemonitoring-supported Game-based Home Exercises on Kinesiophobia, Pain and Quality of Life in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Game-based telerehabilitation exercises and Home exercises for Exercise Therapy and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.

Interventions
online Game-based home exercises are physiotherapy programs that include exercises transformed into game activities to increase the child's participation in the rehabilitation process. The exercises were planned such as; the dwarf camel game as squat exercises; the flamingo balance game as single leg balance exercises and weight-bearing activities etc. The exercise program will be conducted for 6 weeks and 3 sessions in a week.
The physiotherapist will evaluate the control group patients and monitor them using only a home exercise program.
