The Effect of Telerehabilitation Based Physical Activity Training Associated With Single and Dual Task Training on Physical and Cognitive Functions in Individuals With Primary Sjögren's Syndrome
Sponsor: Pamukkale University
Summary
It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based single and dual-task training, combined with physical activity training, on symptom severity, functional status, fatigue, quality of life, cognitive level, sleep, self-efficacy, and satisfaction levels in individuals with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome.

Interventions
Self-Management and Physical Activity Education
Before starting telerehabilitation-based single or dual-task exercise training, participants will receive comprehensive education on the immune system, the definition and symptoms of pSS, chronic pain management, relaxation and breathing exercises, joint protection, and energy conservation. Subsequently, detailed information will be provided on the types of physical activity, its effects on physical and cognitive health, barriers and facilitators, and methods to increase activity. Self-management support will be maintained throughout subsequent sessions through motivational techniques.
Telerehabilitation-Based Single-Task Training
Participants will receive synchronously online self-management and physical activity education. The program consists of core stabilization-focused functional exercises conducted online by a physical therapist 3 times a week for 8 weeks, including warm-up and cool-down periods. Attendance will be monitored, and make-up sessions will be scheduled for missed sessions. Each session will include 10 minutes of warm-up, 40 minutes of upper and lower extremity functional exercises ensuring core stabilization, and 10 minutes of flexibility cool-down. Progression will be achieved by increasing the number of repetitions and advancing exercise levels based on participant performance.
Telerehabilitation-Based Dual-Task Training
Participants will receive synchronously online self-management and physical activity education. The program consists of core stabilization-focused functional exercises conducted online by a physical therapist 3 times a week for 8 weeks, including warm-up and cool-down periods. Attendance will be monitored, and make-up sessions will be scheduled for missed sessions. Each session will include 10 minutes of warm-up, 40 minutes of upper and lower extremity functional exercises ensuring core stabilization, and 10 minutes of flexibility cool-down. The exercises will be combined with cognitive tasks. Progression will involve stating the numbers preceding or following a given number (0-100) by 1, 2, or 3; increasing place values in single-digit addition; and working memory recall (increasing from 4-digit up to 9-digit sequences).
