About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Children aged 7-18

Diagnosed with ALL

In the maintenance phase of chemotherapy

Children without acute thrombosis, active ischemia, hemodynamic instability

Disqualifiers

Children who have received or are receiving cranial radiotherapy

Children with any cardiovascular disease, acute or chronic respiratory disease

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Conventional exercises

    Other intervention

    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.

  • Core stabilization exercises in addition to conventional exercises

    Other intervention

    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.
