    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of two different task-oriented activity training programs on activity performance and participation in children/adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. DESIGN: Sixty-two patients were randomized into group I and group II for task-oriented activity training. In group I, activities of daily living were practiced using real materials from daily life, and in group II, activities of daily living were practiced using video-based games (Xbox 360 Kinect) for 3 d/wk for 8 wks. Pain by the Numeric Rating Scale, upper limb muscle, grip, and pinch strengths by a dynamometer, activity performance and participation by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and Duruoz Hand Index were evaluated. RESULTS: After treatment in both groups, significant changes were found in the Numeric Rating Scale, muscle strength, grips strength, Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and Duruoz Hand Index (P < 0.05). Group II was statistically superior to group I in changes of almost all upper limb muscle strengths, palmar pinch strength, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure satisfaction, and Duruoz Hand Index scores (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Video games-based task-oriented activity training is an alternative and feasible treatment for children/adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This new method may have widespread applicability in future research, given the rapidly growing interest in virtual reality-based therapy in rehabilitation.
