Effects of Core Stabilization Exercises in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Examination of the Effects of Core Stabilization Exercises on Physical Function, Functional Muscle Strength, Functional Exercise Capacity, Postural Control and Fatigue in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Receiving Maintenance Treatment


Sponsor

Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University

Enrollment

34 participants

Start Date

Jan 14, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of core stabilization exercises applied in addition to the conventional exercise program on physical function, functional muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, postural control and fatigue in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia receiving maintenance treatment. Participants will be divided into two groups; the first group will be given a conventional exercise program, while the second group will be given core stabilization exercises in addition to the conventional exercise program.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether core stabilization exercises — targeted workouts that strengthen the muscles around the spine and abdomen — can improve physical function and reduce fatigue in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, a type of blood cancer) who are in the maintenance phase of chemotherapy. **You may be eligible if...** - Your child is 7–18 years old with a diagnosis of ALL - Your child is currently in the maintenance phase of chemotherapy - Your child can understand and follow verbal instructions - Your child does not have active blood clots, uncontrolled pain, or circulatory instability **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your child has received or is receiving cranial (brain) radiation - Your child has heart or lung disease - Your child has bone, joint, or muscle problems - Your child has a neuromotor disorder or a genetic syndrome Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERConventional exercises

Aerobic exercise and stretching exercises will be applied in the conventional exercise program. A 20-30 minute walking will be done as aerobic exercise. Stretching exercises will be done for major muscle groups in 3 sets and 10 repetitions.

OTHERCore stabilization exercises in addition to conventional exercises

In addition to the conventional exercise program, core stabilization exercises will be applied. During the exercises, participants will be trained on neutralizing the spine and working the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles, correct postural control, and performing the exercises with diaphragmatic breathing.
