Determination of Exercise Behavior in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

July 27, 2020 updated by: Saime Nilay Arman
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common rheumatic diseases in childhood, affecting at least 1 in 1000 children. Children with JIA experience joint inflammation and swelling, pain and tenderness, morning stiffness, limited mobility. Children with JIA complain pain and have lower functional ability and decreased quality of life compared with their peers. Many studies have reported that patients with JIA have low physical activity levels and also exercise therapy is considered an important component of the treatment of JIA. Nowadays, studies for evaluating exercise behaviours in order to cope with physical inactivity for many chronic diseases are becoming increasingly important.The objective of this study is to determine exercise behaviour in patients with JIA.
