YOGA FOR CHILDREN WITH JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS (JIA)

2026年6月18日 更新者:Sebahat Yaprak Cetin, PT、Akdeniz University

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TELEREHABILITATION-BASED YOGA EXERCISES IN CHILDREN WITH JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a chronic autoimmune condition starting before age 16, often leading to fatigue, joint stiffness, and decreased physical activity. While exercise is widely recommended to improve functional capacity in children with JIA, the effectiveness of specialized mind-body exercises like yoga is still being explored. This study aims to investigate the impact of an 8-week, telerehabilitation-based yoga program on children with JIA. Participants will engage in 45-minute individual yoga sessions twice a week via Zoom, led by certified physiotherapists. The sessions will progress in difficulty and focus on breathing techniques, physical postures, and meditation to improve the overall physical and mental well-being of the children.

详细说明

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is characterized by chronic inflammation that manifests in symptoms such as pain, swelling, movement restriction, and growth retardation. Clinical evidence suggests that exercise interventions, including aerobic and strengthening programs, provide significant benefits for pain management, range of motion (ROM), and quality of life in this population.

Yoga is a traditional exercise discipline that integrates breathing techniques (Pranayama), physical postures (Asanas), and meditation (Dhyana). Due to its adaptable nature and minimal equipment requirements, it has gained popularity as a therapeutic intervention. This study utilizes a telerehabilitation-based approach to deliver yoga to children with JIA, ensuring accessibility and professional guidance at home.

The Intervention Protocol:

Participants will undergo a specialized yoga program twice a week for 8 weeks. Each session will last 45 minutes and will be conducted one-on-one by two physiotherapists certified in "Yoga for Children" via the Zoom platform. The protocol is based on established literature.

Each session follows a structured sequence:

Introduction: Diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Main Phase: Progressive yoga postures (moving from simple to complex). Postures will be held for 2-3 breaths initially, progressing up to 10 breaths as the child's tolerance increases.

Closing: Relaxation and meditation.

List of Yoga Postures to be Utilized:

Mountain Pose, Crescent Pose (Starting positions) Star Pose, Tree Pose, Eagle Pose Bumblebee and Camel Pose Warrior I, II, and III Poses Triangle Pose, Horse Pose Lunge Pose, Butterfly Pose Frog, Pigeon, Turtle, and Basket Poses Diamond and Candle Poses Tiger Pose, Boat Pose Cat-Cow Pose, Reversed Hedgehog Pose Bridge, Rabbit, Child's Pose, and Plank. During transitions, children will be allowed rest periods as needed. The focus will remain on the synchronization of breath and movement throughout the intervention.

实验性的:Telerehabilitation-Based Yoga Group
Participants will be allocated to this group using block randomization based on age and body mass index (BMI). This group will participate in a telerehabilitation-based yoga program for 8 weeks, 2 days per week, with each session lasting 45 minutes. The sessions will be conducted one-on-one, in real-time, via the Zoom platform, led by certified physiotherapists. The structured program includes diaphragmatic breathing techniques, progressive pediatric-focused yoga postures (asanas), and relaxation/meditation phases.

An 8-week, home-based virtual yoga program designed specifically for pediatric populations with chronic conditions. Sessions are conducted 2 days per week for 45 minutes each. The intervention is delivered live, face-to-face, and one-on-one via the Zoom platform by two physiotherapists certified in "Yoga for Children." Each session follows a standardized sequence:

  1. Breathing Phase: Starting with diaphragmatic breathing.
  2. Active Phase: Progression of 17 distinct pediatric yoga poses (e.g., Mountain, Tree, Warrior, Butterfly, Cat-Cow, and Plank). Each pose is held for 2-3 breaths initially, progressing up to 10 breaths as tolerated.
  3. Meditation Phase: Concluding with guided relaxation and meditation.

Difficulty and repetitions are adapted weekly based on the individual child's physical capacity and comfort.

有源比较器:Home-Based Exercise Control Group
Participants will be allocated to this group using block randomization based on age and body mass index (BMI). This control group will follow a standard, home-based physical exercise program. The exercises will be performed independently at home by the children, with family supervision, during the 8-week study period.
An 8-week structured home exercise program consisting of standard physical therapy exercises conventionally recommended for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The protocol includes gentle stretching to maintain joint range of motion, low-impact strengthening exercises for major muscle groups, and basic posture/balance training. Participants perform these exercises independently at home, under parental supervision, to match the 8-week timeline of the intervention group.

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Functional Reach Test (FRT)
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This test evaluates dynamic balance and limits of stability. Participants stand barefoot or with flat-molded shoes parallel to a wall, with the shoulder flexed at 90 degrees and the arm extended forward to establish a baseline. For the forward reach, participants reach as far forward as possible without taking a step. The distance between the initial and final positions is measured in centimeters (cm). The test is repeated three times, and the average score is recorded. Higher scores indicate better dynamic balance and stability.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
1-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test (1STST)
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This test assesses lower extremity muscle endurance and functional capacity. Participants sit on a standard-height chair with their arms crossed over their chest. Upon the "start" command, they perform as many full sit-to-stand repetitions as possible within 1 minute. The number of correctly completed repetitions is recorded. Higher repetition counts indicate superior lower extremity muscular endurance.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Lateral reach test
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This test evaluates dynamic balance. The patricipants leaning against the wall with the shoulder flexed at 90 degrees and the arm extended forward to establish a baseline. For the test, they reach as far sideways as possible without trunk rotation. The distance between the initial and final positions is measured in centimeters (cm). The test is repeated three times, and the average score is recorded. Higher scores indicate better dynamic balance and stability.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)

次要结果测量

措施说明
大体时间
Biering-Sorensen Test for Trunk Extensor Endurance
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This test evaluates the isometric endurance of the trunk extensor muscles. Participants lie prone on an examination table with their pelvis, hips, and lower extremities secured. The upper trunk is positioned horizontally off the edge of the table, and participants are instructed to maintain this unsupported horizontal position for as long as possible. The duration for which the position is maintained is recorded in seconds. Longer duration indicates better back extensor muscle endurance.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Sit-and-Reach Test
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This test measures the flexibility of the hamstring muscles and the lumbar spine. Participants sit in a long-sitting position with knees fully extended and bare feet placed flat against the testing box. They reach forward with both hands as far as possible without bending the knees. The maximum distance reached by the fingertips is recorded in centimeters (cm). The best trial out of three attempts is used for evaluation. Higher values represent better hamstring and lower back flexibility.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Curl-Up Test for Abdominal Endurance
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This test is utilized to assess abdominal muscle endurance. Participants lie in a supine position with knees flexed and feet secured. They are instructed to perform as many correct curl-ups as possible within a specified standard time or cadence. The total number of correctly executed repetitions within the time frame is recorded. A higher number of repetitions indicates greater abdominal muscle endurance.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Push-Up Test for Upper Body Endurance
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This test evaluates upper extremity and shoulder girdle muscular endurance. Participants start in a prone plank position with hands shoulder-width apart and a straight trunk. They perform consecutive push-ups using proper elbow flexion-extension technique. Modified push-ups (e.g., knee push-ups) may be applied depending on the child's age and physical capacity. The total number of correctly completed repetitions is recorded. Higher counts reflect better upper body muscular endurance.
Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) Score
大体时间:Baseline (Week 0) and Post-intervention (Week 8)
This self-reported questionnaire evaluates the general physical activity levels of children over the past 7 days. It assesses the frequency of participation in physical activities during school hours, after school, and on weekends. Items are scored on a 5-point scale, and a total composite score is calculated (ranging from 1 to 5). Higher total scores indicate a higher level of habitual physical activity.
