Öğe The effects of a short-term use of compression stockings on health-related quality of life in patients with chronic venous insufficiency(Viavital Verlag, 2016) Özdemir, Özlem Çınar; Sevim, Serkan; Duygu, Elif; Tuğral, Alper; Bakar, Yeşim[Purpose] This study was aimed to analyse the effects of short-term use of compression stockings (CS) on symptoms and QoL in patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). [Subjects and Methods] Based on the CEAP classification C2 and C3, 117 patients with CVI were enrolled in this study. The participants were divided into two groups. The control group refused to use CS, however, was advised to do exercises and take skin care whereas the CS group used CS and performed exercise. The data were collected by using Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study (VEINES-QoL/Sym) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) at baseline and after four weeks of treatment and compared within and in between groups. [Results] The comparison of pre- and post-treatment differences between groups was statistically significant for all parameters. In the study group, pre- and post-treatment scores for each parameter were significantly different. However, elevated scores in the control group suggested worsening of the illness. [Conclusion] This study established that short-term use of CS in patients with CVI significantly improved disease specific and general QoL by reducing venous symptoms. Further studies with larger sample size are necessary to confirm these findings.Öğe The effects of short-term use of compression stockings on health related quality of life in patients with chronic venous insufficiency(Society of Physical Therapy Science (Rigaku Ryoho Kagakugakkai), 2016) Özdemir, Özlem Cinar; Sevim, Serkan; Duygu, Elif; Tuğral, Alper; Bakar, Yesim[Purpose] This study was aimed to analyse the effects of short-term use of compression stockings (CS) on symptoms and QoL in patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI).

Position sense oftrunk and its stability are important in terms of limb functions. Various methods are used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation,including orthotic devices to increase trunk control. This study aimed to investigate the immediate effect of elastic trunk orthosison trunk repositioning sense and balance in post-stroke individuals.Methods: A total of 56, 28 with stroke and 28 age matched healthy individuals, were included into study. Repositioning senseand balance were evaluated with and without a trunk orthosis, using the HUMAC NORM isokinetic device, Trunk ImpairmentScale, Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients, and Functional Reach Tests.Results: There was no significant difference within and between groups on trunk repositioning sense with and without corsetuse (p?0.05). Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients scores did not show significant change (p?0.05). There was asignificant difference in favour of corset use in both study and control groups in functional reach test (p=0.013 and p<0.001respectively). Study group showed significant change with and without corset scores in Trunk Impairment Scale (p=0.003).Mean differences on Functional Reach Test and Trunk Repositioning Test showed no significant difference in both groups(p?0.05).Conclusion: The use of trunk orthosis has an immediate effect in some functional tests, but not in terms of repositioning sensewere concluded. We propose to examine the factors affecting the repositioning sense in individuals with stroke and toinvestigate the effectiveness of new physiotherapy applications accordingly.Öğe Intra-observer and inter-observer reliability of leg circumference measurement among six observers: A single blinded randomized trial(2017) Bakar, Yeşim; Özdemir, Çınar Özdemir; Sevim, Serkan; Yıldız, Elif Duygu; Tuğral, Alper; Sürmeli, MahmutHypothesis: Circumference measurement of extremities that was reported to be a reliable method as long as being standardized is commonly used both in clinical and home settings by clinicians or caregivers due to its cheapness and easy use. Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine the inter-observer and intra-observer reliability of manual circumference measurement among different observers and various measurement points. Methods and Results: A total of 58 lower limbs were included in the study. Both lower limbs of each subject were assessed by 6 observers randomly using circumference measurement method from 9 reference points specified with a Leg-O-Meter. All observers performed the measurements and they were blind to each other's measurements. Results: Measurement results from reference points were statistically significant between good to perfect (ICC 0.65-0.99, p<0.001). Interrater reliability of all observers' first and second measurements showed perfect reliability for both measurements (ICC: 0.92-0.99, p<0.001). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the lower extremity manual circumference measurement is a reliable method for clinical practice.

Methods: A total of 88 elderly individuals were enrolled: 49 were women and 39 were men, with a mean age of 72.13±5.3 years. Of these, 75 individuals had at least one chronic illness. Individuals were studied in 3 groups according to his or her number of daily medication usage: those who do not use medication, those who use 1-3 medications per day and those who use 4 or more medications per day. The Senior Fitness Test (Chair Stand Test, Up And Go Test, 2 Minute Step Test, Biceps Curl Test, Chair Sit And Reach Test, Back Scratch Test, the pulse of the individuals was checked and recorded before and after the 2-Minute Step Test), Berg Balance Test and Nottingham Health Profile were used to evaluate physical fitness, balance and quality of life, respectively. Differences between the groups were analysed with Kruskal Wallis. Results: In our study, medication routines within the elderly population did not show a statistically significant change in physical fitness, balance, quality of life, flexibility and heart rate (p>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of our study, medication usage was not affecting physical fitness, balance and quality of life; with proper prescribing, elderly people who use medications can be kept at the same level of physical fitness, balance and quality of life as their peers who do not use medication.
