This study investigates the effects of conventional versus video-based games exercise training (exergaming) on balance in PBTS. The present study was a randomized controlled trial. The study included 23 PBTS who were randomized to a Video-Based balance exergaming Group (VBG) or Conventional balance exercise training Group (CG). In both groups, the interventions were targeted to the balance function and balance exercise training was administered twice a week for 8 weeks. VBG exercised using selected Nintendo Wii Fit Plus® balance games while CG received a specially designed balance training using conventional physiotherapy methods. The primary outcome was the balance tests (Timed Up and Go and Nintendo® Wii™ Center of Gravity: COG), and the secondary outcomes were the functional tests (10-m walking, 2-min walking, 5-step climb/descent/times), and disease effect test (PedsQL Brain Tumor Module). The outcomes were assessed before and after the intervention. At baseline, no significant clinical and outcome assessment differences existed between both groups except for COG (p = 0.0495). After training, overall scores for balance, functional, disease effect tests significantly improved in VBG (p < 0.05) while progress observed in CG was not significant (p > 0.05). Video-based balance exergaming was found effective and more so than conventional balance exercise training in PBTS. Greater effectiveness of exergaming is thought to be due to increased motivation and effort of the children who are more attracted to gaming than conventional exercising. Exergaming could be beneficial both in clinical and home settings with physiotherapist supervision and may reduce the costs of treatment while improving their health-related quality of life.

Dünya genelinde ve ülkemizde en yaygın görülen kronik hastalıklar sırasıyla kardiyovasküler hastalık, kanser, diyabet, inme ve Kronik Obstrüktif Akciğer Hastalığı (KOAH)’dır. 2019 Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu verilerine göre ülkemizdeki ölümlerin yaklaşık %70’ine kronik hastalıklar neden olmaktadır. Kronik hastalığa sahip bireylerin hastaneye yatış oranları diğer hastalıklara göre daha sık görülmekte ve 2016 verilerine göre bu durum yaklaşık 26,4 milyar TL gibi büyük bir mali yüke neden olmaktadır. Sağlık hizmetlerinin tüm basamaklarındaki önlemlerin artırılması hastalığa bağlı ölüm yükünü ve kamunun sağlık harcamalarını önemli bir ölçüde azaltmaktadır. Bu nedenle hastalıkların tedavisi kadar hastalık ortaya çıkmadan önlenmesi de hastalığın yönetiminde ve hastalıkla baş etmede önemlidir. Kronik hastalıkların önlenmesi, hastalığın erken dönemde tedavi edilmesi, progresyonunun yavaşlatılması ve hastaların yaşam sürelerinin artırılması koruyucu rehabilitasyon yaklaşımlarının amaçlarını oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda kronik hastalıklara yönelik koruyucu rehabilitasyon yaklaşımları primer, sekonder ve tersiyer korunma olarak üçe ayrılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda dünyada ve ülkemizde yayınlanan eylem planları ve kılavuzlar mevcuttur. Düzenli fiziksel aktivitenin de hastalıkların önlenmesi ve yönetiminde önemli bir role sahip olduğu bu kılavuzlarda belirtilmektedir. Yapılan çalışmalarda düzenli olarak yapılan fiziksel aktivitenin kronik hastalıkların riskini azalttığı ve hastaların sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitelerini artırdığı kanıtlanmıştır. Derlememizde, kronik hastalıklarda koruyucu rehabilitasyon yaklaşımları ve fiziksel aktivitenin önemi ele alınmıştır.

Methods: Forty volunteer rowers from Turkish National Rowing Team participated in the study. Rowers' gross and fine grip strength, muscle strength, and symptoms of lateral epicondylitis was evaluated by the same physiotherapist. Results: The mean age was 21.4±4.3 year of rowers. The mean results of right gross grip was 91.3±25.2 kgf, left gross grip 89.7±18.0 kgf, right fine grip 24.6±5.2 kgf, left fine grip 23.0±4.6 kgf. The manual muscle testing results were for extensor carpi radialis longus on right 5.0±0.0, on left 4.9±0.3, extensor carpi radialis brevis on right 5.0±0.0, on left 4.9±0.3, extensor pollicis longus on right 5.0±0.0, on left 4.9±0.3, extensor digitorum communis on right 4.6±0.5, on left 4.3±0.7. The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation pain subscale score was 10.5±6.2, function subscale score was 7.9±3.4 and total score was 18.4±8.6 points. There was statistically significant relationship between grip, muscle strength and "Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation" scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relationship between lateral epicondylitis symptoms, grip strength and muscle testing in rowers. The reason for this, we conclude that the number of cases was low and active rowing times of the cases are not uniformly distributed. Reducing symptoms with equipment modifications is recommended as protective rehabilitation.

METHODS: Demographical and physical measurements were performed by a physiotherapist. Pain levels were measured by Visuel Analog Scale at rest, on motion and in fatique, and the patients' results were recorded. Functionality levels were evaluated by 'Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire' and QoL by 'Short Form 12' (SF-12). Patients had 10 sessions of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation program. Assessments were repeated 1 month later. RESULTS: The mean age 49.97 ± 11.15 years of 28 patients were included. While pre-and post-treatment between pain and functionality evaluation found a significant relationship (p < 0.05); there was no significant relationship in QoL (SF-12 p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: As a result while we found statistical differences between pain and symptomatic status; there were no statistical differences between functionality, daily living activities and QoL. Appropriate rehabilitation programs should be taken into consideration to help patients obtain functionality, daily living activities and QoL.

Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 261 students. Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-II (HLBS-II) was used to evaluate the lifestyle behaviors, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) was used to determine the level of physical activity. Demographic information was recorded. Statistical analysis of the study was performed with the IBM SPSS Statistics version 22.0 program. Results: The total score of the HLBS-II of the students was found 131.01±19.17. In order of physical activity level of students; 135 (51.7%) were very active, 85 (32.6%) were active, and 41 (15.7%) were inactive. There was a negative statistically significant correlation between physical activity levels and body weights of the students (r=-0.194, p=0.002) and a positive correlation between the mean MET values obtained by IPAQ-SF calculations and the total score of the HLBS-II (r=0.294, p=0.001). Conclusions: The outcome of our study showed a positive correlation between the healthy lifestyle behaviors and physical activity levels of the physiotherapy students. Primary aim of the education of health science must emphasize the recognition of students' responsibility as a healthcare provider and consider themselves as examples to society for encouraging the adoptation of healthy lifestyle behaviors.

In recent years, although many studies have been performed in preterm infants by applying GMA, few studies have shown the effects of early intervention on GMA. AIMS Current study was planned to determine the acute effects of a single-session early physiotherapy approach on preterm infants' general spontaneous movements, and to reveal the change in Motor Optimality Scale (MOS) score including FMs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, single-blind study. SUBJECTS Current study was carried out with 32 preterm infants at postterm 12-16 weeks. OUTCOME MEASURES The infants included in the study were videotaped by a physiotherapist during 10-15 min before the physiotherapy session at postterm 12-16 weeks for GMA. After a single physiotherapy session, the same physiotherapist performed the same video footage second time. A blind evaluator assessed the videos taken before and after session and scored Motor Optimality Scale (MOS). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS There was no statistically significant difference between MOS sub-category and total score of the infants before and after the session (p > 0.05). According to the results of present study, a single-session early physiotherapy intervention did not have an acute effect on the spontaneous movements of preterm infants at postterm 12-16 weeks. Future studies are needed to demonstrate the short and long-term effects of early physiotherapy approaches to risky infants.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 50 kadın dahil edildi. Olguların, sosyodemografik ve obstetrik özelliklerini belirleyen genel değerlendirme formu dolduruldu. Olguların bel ağrıları Oswestry Disabilite İndeksi (ODİ) ile boyun ağrıları Boyun Ağrı ve Disabilite İndeksi (BADİ) ile değerlendirildi. Verilerin istatistiksel değerlendirmesinde Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi ve t testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen olguların yaş ortalaması 28,48±4,21 yıldı. Olguların doğumdan sonra geçen süresi ortalama 4,07±1,88 aydı. ODİ total puan ortalaması 26,20±13,09, BADİ total puan ortalaması ise 29,99±14,46 olarak bulundu. Kadınların demografik/klinik özellikleriyle ODİ total puanı ve BADİ total puanı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. (p>0,05) Çalışmaya katılan bireylerde doğum sonrası 0-3 aylık dönemde olan olguların ODİ puanı, 4-6 ay döneminde olanlardan daha yüksekti (p<0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmaya dahil edilen kadınların ODİ ve BADİ total puan ortalamaları, ağrılarının günlük yaşamlarında hafif fonksiyonel kayba neden olduğunu göstermektedir. Doğum sonrası aylar ilerledikçe bel ağrı seviyelerinin azalması ile günlük yaşamlarındaki fonksiyonel kaybın gerilediği görülmektedir.

Methods: The student quotas and curriculums of PTR FD/Cs in foundation (Group 1) and state (Group 2) universities were reached. The number of FD/Cs and their student quotas were calculated. Curriculum parameters were investigated from the FD/Cs official websites and compared between groups. Results: 64 universities were found to get permission to give PTR education, and 46 of these obtained student quotas in the 2014-2015 academic year. Curriculums of 41 out of 46 FD/Cs (89.1%) were reached from their websites. The only statistically significant difference was found in student quotas (z=−3.422; p<0.01), whereas no differences were found in other curriculum parameters between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a conclusion, the curriculums of the FD/C in foundation and state universities in Turkey were determined to show compliance with each other and with other countries.

We aimed to investigate the association between the Brachial Plexus Outcome Measure (BPOM) and the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) in children with BPBP and healthy matched controls, and to explore upper-limb function and the discriminative properties of the two tests. Thirty children, aged 6 to 14 years, diagnosed with BPBP and undergoing shoulder tendon transfer and 20 age-matched healthy controls were included. In both groups, the Turkish version of the PODCI, used to evaluate daily living activities, was implemented. The Turkish version of the BPOM, specifically developed for BPBP, was applied in children with BPBP. Test results, demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded. The mean age of children with BPBP was 8.53 ± 2.53 years and their BPOM Activity scale score was 42.93 ± 8.28. The PODCI Upper Extremity Function score (74.97 ± 23.49 vs. 100) and the PODCI Global Functioning score (89.20 ± 7.73 vs. 99.36 ± 7.73) were significantly lower in the BPBP group (p < 0.01). While there was a significant and very strong relationship between the BPOM Activity and PODCI Global Functioning scores (r = 0.845; p = 0.037), no correlation was found between the BPOM Self-Evaluation scale and PODCI Global Functioning score (r = 0.456; p = -0.141). The PODCI correlated with the BPOM Activity scale, providing an appropriate alternative measurement for upper-limb function in children with BPBP after shoulder tendon transfer.

"Toe Walking Tool" contains 21-items which measure medical, birth & developmental history and assessment. Demographic information of 34 children was recorded. The tool was translated into Turkish with the following translation steps. Internal structure consistency and test-retest reliability were measured for reliability analyses. For each item on the tool, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlations were calculated. Turkish Version of Toe Walking Tool (TWT-TR) showed good test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.674). Lower and upper bound ranged of Cronbach's alpha coefficient in the internal structure consistency analysis was calculated between 0.476-0.823. These data suggest that the TWT-TR is a valid and reliable clinical tool in idiopathic toe walking children.
