This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a type of gentle, flowing exercise called Gyrotonic can help teenagers who have lupus and recently spent time in an intensive care unit. The study will compare teenagers who do 8 weeks of this exercise program to teenagers who wait to do it later, to see if the exercise helps them recover better and prevent complications that can happen after critical illness.
Teenagers who spend time in intensive care often struggle with weakness, fatigue, and other problems after they leave the hospital — even after their main illness improves. This trial wants to find out whether a safe, gentle exercise program can help these young people get stronger and feel better faster.

If you join the exercise group, you will come in for 8 weeks of Gyrotonic exercise sessions — a type of gentle movement and stretching designed to help your body recover. If you are in the waiting group, you will simply wait for 8 weeks and then may have the chance to do the exercise program later. The study will track how you feel and how your strength improves over time.
