Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)
In order to evaluate the functional status in patients with FMS, FIQ Burchardt et al. It is a specific scale developed by. FIQ consists of 10 items. Calculation is made so that the upper limit of each item is 10 points. The maximum score that can be reached is 100. A high total score indicates that the person is more affected by the disease.
Pain (Visual Analogue Scale)
Visual Analaog Scale is used to measure the severity of pain in patients. The patient is told that there is no "0" pain on the 10 cm ruler drawn on paper, "10" is the most experienced pain, and the patient is asked to mark on the ruler according to the severity of the pain he/she feels. The distance of the marked point from zero is recorded as the Visual Analogue Scale score in cm.
Muscle Strength Evaluation
The CSMI Humac Norm 2015 isokinetic dynamometer will be used to evaluate muscle strength.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In this study, it was aimed to examine the effects of aerobic exercise and balance-proprioception exercises on pain, functionality and strength parameters of fibromyalgia patients and to compare the two exercise types.
Detailed Description
In the study planned to evaluate the effect of aerobic and balance-proprioception exercises on the symptoms of the disease and the superiority of the two exercise models in patients with fibromyalgia syndrom (FMS), 62 women who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly divided into two groups. Aerobic exercise group (n = 26) and balance-proprioception exercise group (n = 26) will be applied for 3 weeks a week, 6 days a week under the supervision of a physiotherapist in the exercise laboratory of the Istanbul Medical Faculty Sports Medicine Department. Pain (VAS), functional status (FİQ) and knee extension muscle strength (Cybex isokinetic dynamometer) will be evaluated before and after the program. Cognitive status will be evaluated with standardized Mini Mental Test only before the program.
