Summary

This study was designed to assess the effect of a 12-week aqua-plyometric (AquaPlyo) training on muscle strength, bone health, and physical ability in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Forty-eight patients with JIA were randomly allocated to the AquaPlyo group (n = 24, received an aquatic-based plyometric training program, twice/week, over 12 weeks) or the control group (n = 24, received standard exercise program). Both groups were assessed for muscle strength, bone health, and physical ability pre and post-treatment.

Conditions

  • Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Interventions

OTHER

Aqua-Plyometric Exercise

The aqua-plyometric training was conducted for 45 minutes, twice weekly, for 12 successive weeks. The training was geared toward the lower body and was conducted under close supervision of a licensed pediatric physical therapist in accordance with the safety performance guidelines defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US National Strength and Conditioning Association.

OTHER

Standard physical therapy

The program encompassed the standard exercises for patients with JIA (aerobic, weight-bearing, proprioceptive, flexibility, and strengthening exercises). The training was conducted for 40 minutes, two times a week for 12 successive weeks.
