Detailed Description
There are 3 groups in total in the study. The patients in the control arm will be given the practice of range of motion exercises for 50 minutes (1 day with a physiotherapist) 3 days a week for 12 weeks. The resistance exercise group will be given range of motion and resistance exercises with sandbag to the lower extremities for 12 weeks, 3 days a week for 50 minutes (1 day in the presence of a physiotherapist). In the aerobic exercise group, range of motion exercises and aerobic exercises on the treadmill will be given 50 minutes (1 day in the presence of a physiotherapist) 3 days a week for 12 weeks.
After the patient completes the 12-week exercise program, ultrasonographic measurements of transverse muscle thickness of M. Rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, long head of M.Biceps femoris and medial head of M. , 6-minute walk test, body composition measurements with DEXA device and quality of life measurements with SF-36, fatigue severity scale, fear assessment questionnaire in inflammatory rheumatic diseases and scales for other rheumatoid arthritis and pain status. Ultrasonographic measurements will be made at the midpoint between the anterior superior iliac spina and the upper end of the patella for rectus femoris and vastus intermedialis. For the medial head of the gascrokinemius, the measurement will be made at the thickest point where the head of the muscle is in the leg area, and for the biceps femoris muscle, 60% distal between the greater trochanter and the outer femoral condyle, and at the intersection point of a line drawn at the midline of the popliteal fossa. While measurements made for rectus femoris and vastus intermedius were evaluated in the supine position; The biceps femoris and gastrocnemius will be evaluated while the patient lies comfortably in the prone position.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Range of Motion Exercises
The patients in the control group will be given the practice of range of motion exercises for 12 weeks, 3 days a week for 50 minutes (1 day accompanied by a physiotherapist).
|
Range of Motion Exercises will be applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks.
|
Active Comparator: Range of Motion and Resistive Exercises Group
Patients in this group will be given joint range of motion and resistive exercises with sandbag to the lower extremity for 12 weeks, 3 days a week for 50 minutes (1 day in the presence of a physiotherapist).
For the exercises with resistance, the repetition maximum will be calculated and the intensity of the exercises will be adjusted in accordance with the DeLorme protocol.
|
Range of Motion Exercises will be applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks.
Resistive exercises with sandbag will be applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks.
|
Active Comparator: Range of Motion and Aerobic Exercises Group
Joint range of motion exercises and aerobic exercises on the treadmill will be given to the aerobic exercise arm, 3 days a week for 12 weeks (1 day in the presence of a physiotherapist).
For aerobic exercises, the maximum heart rate of the patients will be calculated during exercise and the exercise intensity will be determined by increasing the target heart rate level during the exercise.
|
Range of Motion Exercises will be applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks.
Aerobic exercises with treadmill will be applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks.

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Ultrasonographic Muscle Size Measurement
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
Ultrasonographic measurements of transverse muscle thickness will be made in M. Rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, long head of M. biceps femoris and medial head of M. Gastrocnemius.
Ultrasonographic measurements will be made at the midpoint between the anterior superior iliac spina and the upper end of the patella for rectus femoris and vastus intermedialis.
For the medial head of the gascrokinemius, the measurement will be made at the thickest point where the head of the muscle is in the leg area, and for the biceps femoris muscle, 60% distal between the greater trochanter and the outer femoral condyle and at the intersection point of a line drawn at the midline of the popliteal fossa.
While measurements made for rectus femoris and vastus intermedius were evaluated in the supine position; The biceps femoris and gastrocnemius will be evaluated while the patient lies comfortably in the prone position.

5 chair test
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
In the 5 chair test used in evaluating the functional status of the patient, "The practitioner allows the patient to sit on the chair with his back.
The time it takes to sit and get up 5 times is measured with a stopwatch.
" It will be made as.
|
at 12th week
|
Timed up and go test
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
In the timed get up and walk test, "3 meters of space is determined in front of the patient sitting on a chair.
The patient is asked to get up from the chair, walk this distance and sit down again.
Elapsed time is measured with a stopwatch.
" It will be applied as.
|
at 12th week
|
6-minute walking test
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
In the 6-minute walking test, "The patient's goal should be to walk the longest distance that he can walk within 6 minutes.
The longest distance that the patient can walk after 6 minutes is calculated in meters.
|
at 12th week
|
International Physical Activity Scale
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
Those who score HIGH on the IPAQ engage in
Scoring a MODERATE level of physical activity on the IPAQ means
Scoring a LOW level of physical activity on the IPAQ means that you are not meeting any of the criteria for either MODERATE of HIGH levels of physical activity. |
at 12th week

Body Composition Measurements - Muscle
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
In body composition measurements measured with the DEXA device, total muscle (kg) and their ratio to the total body will be calculated.
|
at 12th week
|
Body Composition Measurements - Fat
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
In body composition measurements measured with the DEXA device, total fat mass according to regions (kg) and their ratio to the total body will be calculated.

Body Composition Measurements - Soft tissue
Time Frame: at 12th week
|

|
Short Form - 36
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
In the evaluation with the short form-36, it is aimed to learn the patient's views about her own health, how she feels and how much she can perform her daily activities.
Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight.
The lower the score the more disability.
The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.
|
at 12th week
|
Visual Pain Scale
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
Visual pain scale scored from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximal pain) will be used in the global pain assessment of the patient.
|
at 12th week
|
Fear assessment questionnaire in inflammatory rheumatic diseases
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
Fear assessment questionnaire in inflammatory rheumatic diseases will be filled.
Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 100.
Higher score is worse result
|
at 12th week
|
Body mass index
Time Frame: at 12th week
|
Body mass index (weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2) will be calculated.
|
