- Brief Summary
Joint hypermobility is the condition that the joints have a greater range of motion than normal and can be observed frequently in children. In children with joint hypermobility, motor problems, tactile and proprioceptive sensory disorders can be observed. It is very important to support children with joint hypermobility with intervention programs that are rich in both motor and sensory aspects. The aim of this project is to create an exercise protocol rich in tactile, proprioceptive senses for children with joint hypermobility and to examine the effects of using textured insoles in addition to exercise on tactile sense, balance, foot load distribution and quality of life in children.
- Detailed Description
It was planned to include 40 children with joint hypermobility in the project. Children's joint hypermobility will be determined by the Beighton Score. Children will be divided into two groups. Children in both groups will be offered an exercise program consisting of home and park activities that will improve their motor and sensory aspects. Children in the intervention group will be asked to additionally use textured insoles. Before and after the study, children's plantar foot tactile sense, balance, foot load distribution and quality of life will be evaluated. Pre- and post-treatment values and change values in both groups will be compared with each other.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Tactile sense Through study completion, an average of 1 year Tactile sensory evaluation was performed with Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments.
Foot load distribution Through study completion, an average of 1 year Diagnostic Support Baropodometer Footscan® 3D system will be used for static and dynamic pedobarographic analysis.
Balance Through study completion, an average of 1 year Biodex Balance System will be used for static balance assessment. Functional reach test will be used for dynamic balance assessment. The child will be asked to stand sideways against the wall. Marking will be made from the tip of the third finger, with the child's arm flexed at 90 degrees. The child will be asked to reach forward as far as he can without taking a step, lifting his heels off the ground, and without changing his arm position. The third fingertip will be marked again and the distance between the two marks will be measured in centimeters
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of life assessment Through study completion, an average of 1 year Children's quality of life will be evaluated with the 'Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory'.This scale is a quality of life scale that evaluates children's physical and psychosocial experiences. Turkish validity and reliability studies have been conducted.
Foot posture Through study completion, an average of 1 year Foot posture analysis will be evaluated using the Foot Posture Index.
