March 26, 2022 updated by: Maged Basha, Qassim University
Impact of Clinical Pilates Exercise on Pain, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Functional Ability, And Quality of Life in Children With Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common chronic childhood inflammatory diseases that is characterized by permanent joint inflammation attributable to immune system disturbance.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Therapeutic exercises play an essential role as a non-pharmacologic treatment for children with JIA.
It has effectively been used to reduce pain, improve muscular function, increase physical activity and promote quality of life in children with chronic musculoskeletal disorders.
Clinical Pilates exercise is usually perceived as enjoyable activity by children with JIA, thereby, it can help them be more active for extended periods without causing discomfort while also allowing them to control their breathing and avoid becoming fatigued.
