Summary

This study compares core stabilization exercises to a daily physical activity program in children aged 10-18 with juvenile spondyloarthropathy, a type of arthritis. The goal is to see if targeted core training can reduce pain, fatigue, and improve quality of life better than general activity. Participants will do supervised exercises twice a week for 12 weeks.
