Descrizione dettagliata
Constipation is a very common problem in children. The pathophysiology of pediatric constipation is multifactorial and not fully understood. Constipation is a problem characterized by infrequent, difficult, often painful defecation and involuntary leakage of stool. It has been reported in the literature that the prevalence of constipation in children is 30%. It has been determined that approximately 96% of children with constipation have functional constipation.
It has been shown in the literature that children with functional constipation had a protrusion in the abdomen compared to healthy children, and their ability to actively relax their trunks decreased. Thus, it has been suggested that children with functional constipation may have reduced trunk muscle and/or endurance or muscle control. As a result of this study, they recommend that the treatment of these children should focus on awareness and education about trunk muscles, defecation and correction of sitting position.
According to the Cochrane systematic review published in 2016, physiotherapy and rehabilitation methods in bladder and bowel dysfunction are generally divided into two as education and specific methods. Specific methods are therapeutic motor control methods, manual therapy techniques (abdominal classical massage) and electrotherapy.
The use of therapeutic motor control methods in the treatment of constipation in children is quite new, and there is a need for innovative studies in this field in the literature.
The conventional treatment in children with functional constipation is education and laxatives.
In the light of this information, in this study considered that therapeutic motor control methods (core stabilization exercises, Electromyographic-Biofeedback therapy and breathing exercises) may have an effect on the symptoms of children with constipation. The primary aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of therapeutic motor control methods and conventional treatment on constipation symptoms in children with functional constipation.
Children will be divided into 2 groups with the randomization program. Educational training, breathing exercises, dietary recommendations, core stabilization exercises and Electromyographic-Biofeedback therapy will be applied to the first group. The 2nd group is the control group and this group will receive routine treatment. Group 2 will receive laxative therapy by a specialist doctor along with educational training, dietary recommendations.
The duration of treatment will be 8 weeks. All children will be evaluated before and after 8 weeks of treatment. The first group will be treated by a physiotherapist in 2 sessions a week for 8 weeks. Each session will take approximately 60 minutes. Group 2 will receive routine treatment for 8 weeks.

Vancouver Non-Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction/Dysfunctional Elimination Syndrome Questionnaire- symptom assessment
Lasso di tempo: Eight weeks
|
Vancouver Non-Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction/Dysfunctional Elimination Syndrome Questionnaire was developed in 2009.
The questionnaire consists of 14-item.
Each question is 5-Likert type, and the last question is not added to the scoring.
The total score ranges from 0 to 52 and increasing score means an increase in symptom severity.

Spinal Posture
Lasso di tempo: Eight weeks
|
Spinal posture evaluations of children will be perform with the Spinal Mouse, which is a computer-assisted and non-invasive electromechanical device.
Spinal posture evaluations will be perform in standing upright position.
After taking the evaluation position, the Spinal Mouse device will be moved by sliding down through all spinal processes starting from the C7 spinal process to the S3 spinal process.
Relevant parameters in standing upright position [thoracic curvature angle (from T1 to T12), lumbar curvature angle (from T12 to S1), sacrum-hip angle (difference between the sacral angle and the vertical), inclination angle (angle formed by the vertical and a line joining C7 to sacrum)] were recorded by the Spinal Mouse device via bluetooth and will be analyzed.

Spinal posture and mobility evaluations will be perform in 3 different positions: standing upright, maximum flexion and maximum extension.
After taking the evaluation position, the Spinal Mouse device will be moved by sliding down through all spinal processes starting from the C7 spinal process to the S3 spinal process.
Relevant parameters in standing upright position [thoracic curvature angle (from T1 to T12), lumbar curvature angle (from T12 to S1), sacrum-hip angle (difference between the sacral angle and the vertical), inclination angle (angle formed by the vertical and a line joining C7 to sacrum)] were recorded by the Spinal Mouse device via bluetooth and will be analyzed.

Physical activity level (questionnaire)
Lasso di tempo: Eight weeks

Physical activity level will be assessed by questionnaire.The physical activity questionnaire for children (PAQ-C) will assess physical activity the ages of 8-14 years.The total score of the PAQ-C consists of the first 9 items.
A score of 1 means low level of physical activity, while a score of 5 means high physical activity.
PAQ for Adolescents (PAQ-A) is a questionnaire designed to evaluate the physical activity of students aged 14-20 attending secondary education during the last 7 days of the school term.A score of '1' corresponds to low-intensity physical activity and a score of '5' corresponds to high-intensity physical activity, but the last question is not included in the scoring.
The total score is obtained by calculating the average score of all questions.
