Summary
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.
