Öğe The results of environmental enrichment and neurodevelopmental treatment in Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome: A case report(Turkey Association of Physiotherapists, 2023) Yeşilyurt, Seda Yakıt; Taş, Seda AyazPurpose: This case report aimed to investigate the efficacy of the physiotherapy program in a child with Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (SGS). Methods: A 9-month-old case diagnosed with SGS by a medical geneticist was the focus of the study. Congenital pes varus, craniosynostosis and craniofacial deformities, mental, social, emotional and motor retardation, regulation and sensory hyperreactivity symptoms were observed in the case. The physiotherapy program consists of environmental enrichment and Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) approaches twice a week for 12 months and was conducted by a physiotherapist at Karadeniz Eregli Private Gokkusagi Special Education and Rehabilitation Center. Gross motor function and disability level were assessed using Gross Motor Function Measurement-88 (GMFM-88) and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), respectively. The success of physiotherapy goals was determined by Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). Results: At 12 months follow-up, GMFM-88 score increased from 5.52% to 45.47% and GAS total scores increased from-6 to +6 point. Conclusions: The literature review shows that no previous study assessed the effectiveness of 12 months physiotherapy program in a child with SGS. We consider that physiotherapy including targeted NDT approaches can support motor development in rare cases, such as SGS characterized by severe motor involvement.Öğe The incidence of deep venous thrombosis in Parkinson's disease(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Afşin, Emine; Coşgun, Zeliha; Kurul, Ramazan; Türkoğlu, Şule AydınIntroductionVenous thromboembolism is one of the causes of sudden death in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Few studies have investigated the correlation between PD and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). This study aimed to investigate the frequency of DVT in PD patients prospectively.Material and MethodDemographic characteristics of 37 PD patients without known risk factors for DVT, disease duration, Hoehn-Yahr (H - Y) stage, oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate values with pulse oximetry, use of assistive devices, waist and knee circumference measurements, and modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score was recorded. Both legs were evaluated for thrombus by Doppler venous ultrasound (US).ResultsWith the H-Y stage of the disease duration, a positive correlation was determined between the H-Y stage and mMRC. Disease duration was negatively correlated with BMI and positively correlated with the need for assistance. Assistive device use was positively associated with age and mMRC. DVT was detected in only one patient. When our patients' files were reviewed after 1.5 years, one patient was hospitalized with the diagnosis of submassive pulmonary embolism.ConclusionAttention should be paid to the development of DVT in elderly patients with advanced stages of PD, progression in the H-Y stage, use of assistive devices, and progression in dyspnea scoring. There is also a need for studies on the benefit of DVT prophylaxis in PD patients with a high risk of venous thromboembolism.Öğe Evaluation of the effect of telerehabilitation on neuroplasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis by neuropsychometric tests and EEG spectral analysis(Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) Kabay, Sibel Canbaz; Güler, Merve; Şahin, Nilay Yürekdeler; Kaya, Gözde; Benli, Tuba Kaya; Taş, MelikeMeeting AbstractÖğe Assessment of posture, spinal mobility and EMG data in patients with spinal stenosis(Gdansk Univ Physical Education & Sport, 2022) Zileli, Ahu; Çankaya, TamerIntroduction: This study aims to analyze the difference in muscle activation, posture and vertebral mobility values between healthy individuals and patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Ma-terial and Methods: This study involved 48 lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients of the average age of 55.19 +/- 10.41 years and 48 healthy individuals with of the average age of 58.15 +/- 8.44 years. Posture and spinal mobility of the participants were measured in the standing position, and the maximum flexion posture with spinal mouse. Muscle activation of rectus femoris, biceps femoris, tibialis anterior and medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle was measured during the maximum voluntary contrac-tion and gait with a surface electromyography device (sEMG). Results: Maximum trunk flexion, stand-ing segmental posture and mobility were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). On the other hand, a signif-icant difference was found in general mobility scores (p < 0.05), and a statistically significant difference was found in muscle activation parameters (p < 0.05) in both groups. Conclusions: When the LSS and the healthy groups were compared, it was found that segmental posture and spinal mobility were similar in both groups; muscular activity was lower in the healthy group, and total vertebral mobility was lower in the LSS group.Öğe Examination of diaphragm thickness, mobility and thickening fraction in individuals with COPD of different severity(Scientific and Technological Research Council Turkey, 2022) Topçuoğlu, Ceyhun; Yümin, Eylem Tütün; Hızal, Mustafa; Konuk, SuatBackground/aim: Diaphragm thickness and mobility assessed by ultrasound in individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) reflect the function of the diaphragm. The aim of this study is to compare the diaphragm thickness, mobility, and thickening fraction in individuals with COPD of different severity and healthy individuals and examine the relationship between these parameters and pulmonary function test parameters. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional observational study design was used. Thirty individuals (mild = 11; moderate = 13; severe = 6) with COPD and 29 healthy male individuals aged between 40-75 years were included in the study. The individuals included in the study were evaluated between October 2020/May 2021. Pulmonary functions were measured with a spirometer, while diaphragm thickness, mobility, and thickening fraction were measured by ultrasound. Results: The right and left diaphragm thickness, mobility, thickness variation, thickening fraction, and mobility were lower in individuals with COPD than in healthy individuals (p < 0.05). The left Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) diaphragm thickness, right Total Lung Capacity (TLC), and FRC diaphragm thickness were higher in mild COPD than moderate COPD and moderate COPD than severe COPD (p < 0.05). The right diaphragmatic thickening fraction and rate were higher in mild COPD than in moderate and severe COPD (p < 0.05). The left mobility was lower in severe COPD than in mild COPD (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Diaphragm ultrasound parameters decrease as disease severity increases in individuals with COPD. We think that adding diaphragm ultrasound parameters together with pulmonary function test to the evaluation of individuals with COPD will provide additional contributions to determining the course of the disease.Öğe What do lymphedema patients expect from a treatment and what do they achieve? A descriptive study(Elsevier Science Inc, 2022) Yıldız, Elif Duygu; Bakar, Yeşim; Keser, İlkePurpose: Lymphedema is characterized by swelling and fibroadipose tissue deposition that is a physically, psychologically, and socially debilitating condition due to chronic and progressive nature of the disease. Treatment benefit evaluation from the patient's perspective is important for medical decision-making. The aim of this study is to investigate important treatment goals and benefits of treatment from the patients' perspective. Method: Eighty-one patients with lymphedema, lipoedema, or lipolymphoedema who are currenlty treated or who underwent previous treatment were included in the study. Socio-demographic data was recorded. Important goals and benefit from treatment were assessed with Patients Needs Questionnaire and Patient Benefit Questionnaire which are sub-questionnaires of Patient Benefit Index-Lymphedema. Results: The most important expectation and needed item was To find a clear diagnosis and therapy (n:59, 72%). The least important item for the lymphedema patients was To feel more attractive (n:9, 11%). Most beneficial effect of treatment was To have no fear that the disease will become worse (n:37, 45.7%). To have fewer out of pocket treatment expenses was rated as the least beneficial effect of treatment (n:24, 29.6%). Conclusions: It is important to identify patients' needs and expectations. Patients should be referred for treatment according to their needs. The effectiveness of the treatment should be evaluated objectively. Patient education should be considered as a part of the effective treatment to teach patients how to control their lymphedema. A clear diagnosis and access to treatment should be ensured for lymphedema patients.

Participants who scored maximum 3 on the Modified Rankin Scale and were diagnosed with moderate stroke according to The NIH Stroke Scale were included in the study. The participants in group 1 (G1) received only conventional treatment (CT), in group 2 (G2) participants received one session of RAGT per week in addition to the CT program, and group 3 (G3) received two sessions of RAGT per week in addition to the CT program. 6-min walk test (6-MWT), Barthel Index (BI), Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQoL), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were recorded.ResultsMedian change in SSQoL of G3 was significantly higher from median change of G1 (p < 0.05), and median change in BDI of G3 was significantly lower than median change of G1 (p < 0.05). Median change in BDI of G3 was also significantly lower from change of G2 (p < 0.05).ConclusionTwo weekly sessions of RAGT in addition to CT exhibit positive effects on QoL and mood but no additional contribution to functional status.Öğe The effect of e-pelvic floor muscle training on symptoms in women with stress urinary incontinence: A randomized controlled trial(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Kamalı, Sena; Özengin, Nuriye; Topçuoğlu, Mehmet AtaThe aim of this study was to investigate how e-pelvic floor muscle training (e-PFMT) affected urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Fifty-five women with SUI symptoms were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 27) or the control (n = 28) group. Both groups were given lifestyle advice about SUI. The intervention group performed e-PFMT three days a week, one day via videoconference, and was supervised by a physiotherapist for eight weeks. UI symptoms were assessed by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI), the Urinary Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6), and QoL was assessed by the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) before and after intervention. After intervention, the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) scale was used to assess improvement, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess adherence. While the intervention group's ICIQ-UI SF, ISI, and UDI-6 scores improved (p < .001), there was no change in the control group (p > .05). Except for personal relationship limitations, all KHQ scores improved in the intervention group. The control group's role limitations and sleep/energy disturbances scores worsened. ICIQ-UI SF (p = .004), ISI (p < .001), and UDI-6 (p < .001) scores of the intervention group were improved compared to the control group. PGI-I and adherence were found to be higher in the intervention group compared to the control group. e-PFMT performed via videoconference to women with SUI, was found to be effective in improving UI symptoms and QoL as compared to lifestyle instructions only.Öğe The symptom experience and functioning of non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients within the first 20 days(SAGE Publications Inc, 2023) Yümin, Eylem Tütün; Sürmeli, Mahmut; Topcuoğlu, Ceyhun; Göksülük, Merve Başol; Yümin, MuratThe adverse physical, psychological, and mental health consequences associated with COVID-19 illness are well-documented. However, how specific symptoms change over time and how COVID-19 affects one's day-to-day activities of daily living (ADL), Quality of Life (QoL), sleep quality, and fatigue severity are not well described. This longitudinal and descriptive study examined the changes in COVID-19 symptoms, ADL, QoL, sleep quality, and fatigue severity within the first 20 days. A convenience sample (n = 41) of non-hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 positive patients were recruited and followed for 20 days. Participants completed self-report measures: COVID-19 symptoms, ADL, QoL, sleep quality, and fatigue severity at days: 1, 10, and 20 following a diagnosis. Findings revealed that symptoms decreased over 20 days (p < .001). In parallel with the decrease in symptoms, QoL and ADL improved over 20 days (p < .05). However, sleep quality and fatigue severity did not improve within 20 days (p > .05). Our findings contribute to the growing evidence that COVID-19 symptoms can linger, especially fatigue and sleep quality, that affect overall day-to-day functioning for at least 20 days after diagnosis. To mitigate the effect of COVID-19 on QOL and ADL, findings underscore the need for clinicians to work collaboratively with patients to develop a symptom management plan for a variety of symptoms including fatigue and sleep quality. Beginning to repurpose existing self-management strategies for the longer term COVID-19 symptoms could be beneficial and help to optimize patient outcomes. Future work should examine these variables over a longer timeframe and among different samples of non-hospitalized patients.Öğe Comparing the efficacy of the Knack maneuver on pelvic floor muscle function and urinary symptoms using different teaching methods: A prospective, nonrandomized study(SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2022) Yeşilyurt, Seda Yakıt; Özengin, Nuriye; Topçuoğlu, Mehmet AtaIntroduction and hypothesis This study was aimed at comparing the efficacy of Knack maneuver training taught using different techniques on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function, urinary symptoms, and perception of improvement in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods We conducted a prospective nonrandomized study of 46 women with SUI. Assessments included: PFM functions (secondary outcome, SO) using a Myomed 932 EMG biofeedback device, urinary incontinence symptoms using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-SF; primary outcome), the Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6; SO), and the Incontinence Severity Index (ISI; SO), and perception of improvement using the Global Perceived Impact scale. The women were divided into three groups according to their preference: group 1 (Knack maneuver training with electromyography biofeedback), group 2 (Knack maneuver training with verbal instruction), and group 3 (Knack maneuver training with vaginal palpation). An education program was also given to all women individually. The training program was 1 day per week for 4 weeks. Results There was an improvement in UDI-6, ICIQ-SF, and ISI scores in all groups (p<0.05). The maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the PFMs increased in group 2 (p=0.002), whereas both the MVC of PFMs and PFM contraction during Valsalva increased in group 3 (p=0.011 and p=0.042). Conclusions Regardless of the teaching methods, the Knack maneuver and education programs were effective on urinary symptoms in women with mild to moderate SUI. The Knack maneuver training with vaginal palpation and verbal instruction improved MVC of PFMs. All three different teaching methods might be used in SUI treatment programs.Öğe The Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire (MSISQ): Validation of the Turkish version in patient with multiple sclerosis(Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Doğan, Hanife; Abakay, Hanife; Tekin, Gözde; Saçmacı, Hikmet; Göksülük, Merve Başol; Özengin, HuriyeThis study aimed to psychometrically evaluate the Turkish version of the Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire (MSISQ-15) in women with MS. The study included 130 women with MS. The Turkish linguistic validation process of the original English MSISQ-15 was performed according to standardized guidelines. Reliability analysis was evaluated with test-retest analysis and intra-class correlation (ICC). Internal consistency between the items was analyzed using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Item analysis results were used to assess the contribution of the items to the scale. In evaluating the validity of the scale, the relationship between the MSISQ and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Questionnaire-54 (MSQOL-54), and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PSIQ-12) was investigated. Psychometric properties were analyzed using internal consistency, test-rest reliability, construct validity, and floor-ceiling effect. The internal consistency of the Turkish MSISQ-15 was strong in terms of both sub-dimension score and the total score (Cronbach's a coefficient > 0.80). The test-retest reliability of the scale was very strong (ICC > 0.90). A medium-high correlation was found between the MSISQ-15 and the MSQOL-54, the FSFI, and the PSIQ-12 (between r =-0.448 and r =-0.798, p < 0.001, respectively). The MSISQ-15 is a comprehensive, reliable, and valid inventory to obtain information about the cause of sexual dysfunction in Turkish women with MS and to evaluate the level of sexual dysfunction. In future studies, it is recommended to examine the sensitivity of the Turkish MSISQ-15 to treatment-related changes.Öğe The effect of complex decongestive physiotherapy applied with different compression pressures on skin and subcutaneous tissue thickness in individuals with breast cancer-related lymphedema: A double-blinded randomized comparison trial(Springer, 2023) Yıldız, Elif Duygu; Bakar, Yeşim; Hızal, MustafaPurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of compression bandage applied with different pressures on the skin and subcutaneous thickness in individuals with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL).Methods21 individuals with stage 2 unilateral BCRL participated in the study. Individuals were randomly allocated into two groups as low-pressure bandage (20-30 mmHg) (n: 11) and high-pressure bandage (45-55 mmHg) (n: 10). Skin and subcutaneous tissue thickness, extremity volume, sleep quality, treatment benefit, and comfort were evaluated by ultrasound from 6 reference points (as hand dorsum, wrist volar, forearm volar, arm volar, forearm dorsum, and arm dorsum), volumetric measurement, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Patient Benefit Index-Lymphedema, and visual analog scale, respectively. Complex decongestive physiotherapy was applied to both groups. Compression bandage was applied according to their group. Individuals were evaluated at the baseline, 1st session, 10th session, 20th session, and at 3-month follow-up.ResultsSkin thickness decreased significantly in the volar reference points of the extremity in the high-pressure bandage group (p = 0.004, p = 0.031, and p = 0.003). Subcutaneous tissue thickness significantly decreased at all reference points in the high-pressure bandage group (p < 0.05). In the low-pressure bandage group, skin thickness only decreased in the forearm dorsum and the arm dorsum (p = 0.002, p = 0.035) and subcutaneous tissue thickness changed for all points (p < 0.05) except for hand and arm dorsum (p = 0.064, p = 0.236). Edema decreased in a shorter time in the high-pressure bandage group (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in sleep quality, treatment benefit, and comfort for both groups (p = 0.316, p = 0.300, and p = 0.557, respectively).ConclusionHigh pressure was more effective in reducing subcutaneous tissue thickness in the dorsum of hand and arm. The usage of high-pressure can be recommended especially in cases which have edema in the dorsum of hand and arm which is difficult to resolve. Also, high-pressure bandage can provide faster edema resolution and can be used in rapid volume reduction as desired. Treatment outcomes may improve with high-pressure bandage without any impairment in comfort, sleep quality, and treatment benefit.Öğe Menstrual health and genital hygiene status in adolescent girls and young women with cerebral palsy(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2023) Türker, Duygu; Doğan, Hanife; Çoban, Özge; Göksülük, Merve Başol; Özengin, Nuriye; Yıldırım, Necmiye ÜnMenstrual health and genital hygiene behavior in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) is underrecognized, undertreated, and negatively affects quality of life. The aim of this case-control study is to compare menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviors in adolescent girls and young women with CP to a healthy women control group. Participants were invited to study via social media tools between August 2021 and February 2022. The study included 74 adolescent girls and young women with CP and 89 healthy women. Menstrual status with semi-structured questions, menstrual symptoms with “Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ),” genital hygiene behavior with “Genital Hygiene Behavior Scale (GHBS)” were evaluated. The control group scored significantly higher on the MSQ sub-dimensions of “negative effects somatic complaints” (r = 0.396; p < .001), “menstrual pain” (r = 0.287; p < .001), “coping methods” (r = 0.291; p < .001), and total score (r = 0.395; p < .001), as well as the GHBS sub-dimensions of “awareness of abnormal findings” (r = 0.270; p = .001) and “menstrual hygiene” (r = 0.495; p < .001) and total score (r = 0.393; p < .001). People with CP had worse genital hygiene behavior, had less menstrual symptoms, and behaved differently about the menstruation symptoms. This study focused on adolescent girls and young women with CP who cannot easily express their own experiences and concerns, emphasized that their needs should be identified by determining their menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviorsÖğe Feel it or deal with it: Oral perception and aspiration risk in early stroke(Wiley, 2023) Benli, Enes Tayyip; Avcı, Şebnem; Öğün, Muhammed NurBackgroundSensation and perception impairments are significant problems faced by individuals with early-stage stroke. Sensory inputs needed in swallowing guide the perceptual process with the involvement of cognitive functions. In the absence of sensory input, bolus perception may be altered, and swallowing safety may be compromised. ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the oral perception of volume change and the aspiration risk of individuals with stroke and determine the relationship between oral perception and aspiration risk. MethodsTotal participants were 35. The Gugging Swallowing Screening Test (GUSS) was used to determine individuals' risk of aspiration and divide them into groups 'aspiration risk' and 'non-aspiration risk'. The Oral Perception of Liquid Volume Changes Test (OPLVCT) was used to determine the level of oral perception. ResultsThe groups were statistically similar in terms of age and other descriptives. When the OPLVC test was examined, the scores of the aspiration risk group were significantly lower (p < .001). In addition, a moderate negative correlation was found between aspiration risk and the OPLVC scores (r: -0.502; p < .001). ConclusionIn this study, a relationship was found between aspiration risk and oral perception. It also revealed that individuals with stroke who are at risk of aspiration have low oral perception abilities. Based on these results, it was concluded that these individuals cannot reliably determine the maximum volume of liquid to be consumed without assistance. We suggest that evaluations and training of oral perception should be added to the rehabilitation of individuals with stroke.Öğe Comparison of physical activity, exercise barriers, physical performance, and fall risks in frail and nonfrail older adults(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023) Karabulut, Demet Gözaçan; Sertel, Meral; Yümin, Eylem Tütün; Abit Kocaman, Ayşe; Tarsuslu, TülayObjectives:The present research aimed to identify the difference between physical activity, physical performance, balance, fall risk, and exercise barriers in frail and nonfrail older adults. Methods:One hundred nineteen voluntary individuals older than 65 years and living in Kirikkale were enrolled in the research. The Clinical Frailty Scale was employed to evaluate the frailty level of the individuals included in the study. In line with the data obtained after the evaluation, individuals were separated into 2 groups as frail and nonfrail individuals. Exercise barriers were evaluated with the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS), physical activity level was evaluated with the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), lower extremity physical performance was assessed with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test, and fall risk was assessed with the Self-Rated Fall Risk Questionnaire (FRQ). Results:Ninety-three of the individuals enrolled in the study were found to be nonfrail and 26 to be frail older adults. The mean age of the individuals in the nonfrail group was 70.36 +/- 6.10 years, and the mean age of the individuals in the frail group was 76.53 +/- 7.37 years. In the statistical analysis, the difference was revealed between the groups in terms of the exercise barriers subscore, EBBS total score, PASE leisure activity score, PASE total score, FRQ total score, and SPPB total result (P < .05). In the correlation analysis, there was a negative correlation between the frailty scale score and SPPB and a positive correlation between the frailty scale score and FRQ in nonfrail older adults (P < .05). However, there was a positive correlation between the frailty scale score and exercise barriers subscore, EBBS and FRQ total scores, and a negative correlation between the PASE leisure activities, work activities and PASE total score, and SPPB score in frail individuals (P < .05). Conclusions:Our results demonstrated that the physical activity levels of frail older adults were poorer, they had a higher fall risk, and their activity performance, including the lower extremity, was poorer than that of nonfrail older adults.Öğe Asemptomatı?k kadınlarda pelvı?k taban kas fonksı?yonuna farklı kontraksı?yon yöntemlerı?nı?n etkı?si(Turkey Association Physiotherapists, 2021) Ünlü, İdil Esin; Özengin, Nuriye; Serindağ, Sevinç; Bakar, Yeşim; Ankaralı, Handan; Topçuoğlu, Ata; Topçuoğlu, Mehmet AtaAmaç: Bu çalışma, asemptomatik kadınlarda farklı kontraksiyon yöntemlerinin pelvik taban kas fonksiyonu üzerine etkisini transabdominal ultrasonografi ile değerlendirmeyi amaçladı. Yöntem: Araştırmaya asemptomatik olduğu Global Pelvik Taban Rahatsızlık Anketi ile belirlenen ve gönüllü olan 120 kadın dahil edildi. Kadınların fiziksel ve sosyodemografik özellikleri kaydedildikten sonra fizyoterapist tarafından bir saatlik eğitim verildi. Bu eğitimde dört farklı kontraksiyon yöntemi (pelvik taban kas kontraksiyonu, Hollowing in manevrası, korseleme manevrası, anal kontraksiyon) teorik ve pratik olarak öğretildi. Kadınların pelvik taban kas fonksiyonu transabdominal ultrasonografi altında değerlendirildi. Ölçümler her bir kontraksiyon için üç kez tekrarlandı ve üç ölçümün ortalaması analize alındı. Kontraksiyonların sıralaması rastgele yöntemle belirlendi. Kontraksiyon tipine göre pelvik taban kas fonksiyonu Tekrarlı Ölçümlerde Varyans Analizi testiyle karşılaştırıldı. Sonuçlar: Kadınların kontraksiyon tipine göre pelvik taban kas fonksiyonu karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark olduğu bulundu (p=0,001). Bu test sonuçlarına göre pelvik taban kas fonksiyonunun korseleme manevrasında en yüksek olduğu, bunu sırasıyla Hollowing in manevrası, pelvik taban kas kontraksiyonu ve anal kontraksiyonun takip ettiği saptandı. Tartışma: Kadınların pelvik taban kas fonksiyonunun korseleme manevrasında en yüksek, anal kontraksiyon tipinde ise en düşük olduğu bulundu. Pelvik taban kas eğitimi verilirken korseleme manevrasını içeren egzersizlerin öğretilmesinin pelvik taban kas fonksiyonunu artırmada daha etkili olabileceği düşüncesindeyiz.Öğe Kinesio taping techniques for ankle stabilisation in patients with stroke: A single-blinded randomised controlled study(MARK ALLEN GROUP, 2021) Kurul, Ramazan; Çankaya, Tamer; Yıldırım, Necmiye ÜnBackground/Aims Ankle proprioception and neuromuscular feedback from this region provides the sensory input needed for balance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of repeated correction taping applied on the ankle and peroneus longus and peroneus brevis muscles on balance and gait in patients with stroke. Methods A total of 61 patients with stroke with a mean age of 62.25 +/- 7.04 years were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n=30) received 1 hour of rehabilitation, which took place during weekdays over the course of 2 weeks. The intervention group (n=31) received 1 hour of daily rehabilitation as well as having kinesio tape applied to their ankle. Both groups were assessed with the Balance Evaluating Systems Test, Timed Up and Go Test, Functional Reach Test, Tetrax Balance System and Barthel Index. Clinical assessments were performed at baseline, immediately after the first application, 1 week and 2 weeks later, following the first taping. Results There was a significant improvement in the Balance Evaluating Systems and Functional Reach Tests scores between the first and last measurements in favour of the intervention group (P<0.05). There were no significant changes between baseline and immediately after assessment for all measurements (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in Tetrax scores, Timed Up and Go Test and Barthel Index scores (P>0.05). Conclusions In this study, it was found that dynamic balance was improved by taping the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis muscles, but the static balance did not change. One week of kinesio taping would be beneficial; however, prolonged use would not provide further improvement.Öğe Temperament and character profiles of ankylosing spondylitis patients compared with major depression patients and healthy controls(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021) Tönük, Şükrü Burak; Arısoy, Özden; Öztürk, Erhan Arif; Boztaş, Mehmet Hamid; Kaygusuz, Çiğdem ÇifciBackground/Objective Depressive disorder is common in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), who exhibit specific brain imaging abnormalities resembling those in major depression (MD). We compared temperament and character profiles between patients with AS and MD. Methods The study involved 36 patients with AS, 40 with MD, and 36 healthy controls (HCs). The participants were age-, sex-, and education-matched. Depression, anxiety, temperament, and character were evaluated using the Temperament and Character Inventory and physician-rated Hamilton Depression and Anxiety Scales. Disease severity was assessed using the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity, Radiology, Metrology, and Functionality Indexes; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; and C-reactive protein. Results Depression and anxiety scores were highest in MD, lowest in HCs, and intermediate in AS (p < 0.001). Harm avoidance was significantly higher in MD and AS than HCs (p = 0.01). Reward dependency was lower (p = 0.011) and self-transcendence higher in AS only (p = 0.034). Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index was negatively correlated with depression (p = 0.020). Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index were negatively correlated with harm avoidance (p < 0.05). Disease duration was negatively correlated with self-transcendence (p = 0.027). Harm avoidance was correlated with depression score (p = 0.029). Patients under tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitor treatment had lower cooperativeness score (p = 0.022). Conclusions Patients with AS had a specific Temperament and Character Inventory pattern. Harm avoidance was common in both AS and MD. In AS, harm avoidance and depression decreased in patients with progression, probably because progressive fusion of the spinal segments causes decrease in pain. Harm avoidance (fear of pain) seemed to be an acting factor for occurrence of depressive symptoms in AS.Öğe Investigation of the relationship between physical activity, kinesiophobia and fear of falling in older adults with chronic pain(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Sertel, Meral; Arslan, Saniye Aydoğan; Yümin, Eylem Tütün; Demirci, Cevher Savcun; Şimşek, Tülay TarsusluAims This study aims to investigate the relationship between physical activity, fear of movement and fear of falling in older adults with chronic pain. Materials and methods The study includes 163 older adults aged 65 years and over, who live in a private nursing home. The cognitive functions of the individuals who participated in the study were evaluated with the mini-mental examination scale (MMES), fears of movement with the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), fear-avoidance behaviour with the Fear-avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), physical activity levels with the Physical Activity Scale for Older (PASE), and the fears of falling were assessed with Tinetti's Falls Efficacy Scale (FES). Results In the correlation analysis, there was a weak correlation between age and fall risk (r = 0.349, p < 0.001), and PASE(Total) score (r = -0.020, p = 0.011). There was a weak positive correlation between Tinetti FES and FABQ scores (r = 0.349, p < 0.001), and kinesiophobia value (r = 0.259, p < 0.001), there was a weak negative correlation between Tinetti FES and PASE(Total) (r = -0.241, p = 0.002). A positive mid correlation was determined between kinesiophobia and the FABQ scores (r = 0.41, p < 0.001). The established regression model was found to be significant (F = 12.175; p < 0.001). Among the independent variables included in the model, FABQ(Total) (t = 3.589; p < 0.0001) and PASE(Total) (t = -3.325; p < 0.0001) significantly affected the fear of falling. Conclusion The presence of chronic pain in older adults who have problems related to physical activity, fear of falling, and kinesiophobia due to advancing age may affect social participation, functional level, and quality of life significantly. Therefore, pain should be addressed in older adults and should be considered as an important issue in rehabilitation programs.Öğe The coping strategies questionnaire: Translation, cultural adaptation, reliability and validity in Turkish-speaking patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2022) Sözlü, Uğur; Kanık, Zeynep Hazar; Günaydın, Gürkan; Alkan, Zeynep Beyza; Pala, Ömer Osman; Başar, SeldaBackground The use of pain coping questionnaires is advantageous when selecting cognitive and behavioral targets for chronic pain management. The objective of this study was to investigate adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) in Turkish population with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods The Turkish version of the questionnaire (CSQ-T) was checked in terms of reliability and validity with a convenience sample of 123 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Reliability (test-retest) analyses were conducted by means of a retest 48 hours later with a sub-group of 40 patients. Construct validity of the CSQ was checked through convergent validity with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey. Results Cronbach's alpha of the subscales ranged from 0.814 to 0.934 and the test-retest reliability ranged from 0.800 to 0.944. Neither floor nor ceiling effects (15%) were found in the subscales (13.8%) and the total score (4.1%) of the CSQ-T. Factor analysis indicated that the scale had two factors. The total CSQ-T score was correlated with both the HADS (r: -0.636/-0.549) and the SF-36 (r: 0.701/0.768). Conclusion The CSQ-T is a reliable and valid measure for assessing patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
