    The effects of therapeutic exercises on pain, muscle strength, functional capacity, balance and hemodynamic parameters in knee osteoarthritis patients: a randomized controlled study of supervised versus home exercises
    (SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2017) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Colak, Tugba Kuru; Kavlak, Bahar; Aydogdu, Onur; Sahin, Emir; Acar, Gonul; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Sari, Zubeyir; Colak, Ilker; Bulut, Guven; Polat, M. Gulden
    The aim of the study was to compare the effects of low-intensity exercise programs for lower extremities, either supervised or at home, on pain, muscle strength, balance and the hemodynamic parameters of knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients. This randomized study included 78 patients with knee OA in 2 groups of supervised and home-based exercise program. Exercises were applied to the first group in the clinic as a group exercise program and were demonstrated to the second group to be performed at home. Before and after the 6-week exercise program, assessment was made of pain, quadriceps and hamstring muscle strengths, 6-min walk test (6MWT), and non-invasive hemodynamic parameters. Results of the 78 patients, 56 completed the study. Pain, muscle strength, and 6MWT scores showed significant improvements in both groups. There were also significant differences in the amount of change in pain and muscle strength (pain: p = 0.041, Rqdc: 0.009, Lqdc: 0.013, Rhms: 0.04) which indicated greater improvements in the supervised group. The balance scores of supervised group showed a significant improvement (p = 0.009). No significant change was determined in hemodynamic parameters of either group. Conclusion according to the results of this study showed that low-intensity lower extremity exercises conducted in a clinic under the supervision of a physiotherapist were more effective than home-based exercises in reducing post-activity pain levels and improving quadriceps and right hamstring muscle strength. Both the supervised and home exercise programs were seen to be effective in reducing rest pain and increasing 6 MW distance in knee osteoarthritis patients.

    Cross-cultural translation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire
    (ELSEVIER, 2022) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Tay, Hilal Ata; Ozgul, Bahar; Darlow, Ben; Sari, Zubeyir
    Background: As the Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ), a validated instrument, could be performed to evaluate biopsychosocial dimensions of back pain, it has not been translated and adapted for Turkish population. Objectives: It was aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Back-PAQ (versions of 34-item, 20-item, and 10-item) into Turkish language and analyse the validity and reliability of the Back-PAQ-Turkish version (Back-PAQ-Tr). Study design: Study of diagnostic accuracy/assessment scale. Methods: The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process were carried out in several steps according to international best-practice guidelines. 173 participants with back pain were recruited. Turkish version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-Tr) and Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ-Tr) were used to investigate the convergent validity. Results: Internal consistency of the Back-PAQ-Tr, Back-PAQ-Tr-20, and Back-PAQ-Tr-10 were 0.82, 0.78 and 0.68, respectively. Test-retest reliability was excellent for Back-PAQ-Tr (ICC = 0.95) and Back-PAQ-Tr-20 (ICC = 0.95), but weak for Back-PAQ-Tr-10 (ICC = 0.50). A weak correlation was found between all versions of Back-PAQ-Tr and TSK-Tr & FABQ-Tr, except for the moderate correlation between Back-PAQ-Tr-10 and TSK-Tr (r = -0.51) & the physical activity score of FABQ-Tr (r = -0.51). Back-PAQ-Tr, Back-PAQ-Tr-20, and Back-PAQ-Tr-10 accounted for 66.2%, 60.5%, and 78.2% of the variance in the data set, respectively. Conclusion: The versions of 34-item and 20-item Back-PAQ-Tr are reliable and valid questionnaire to assess Turkish populations' attitudes and beliefs regarding back pain. Since the reliability of the 10-item version was determined to be quite low, we particularly recommend the use of the versions of Back-PAQ-Tr and Back-PAQ-Tr-20.

    The effect of video exercise-based telerehabilitation on clinical outcomes, expectation, satisfaction, and motivation in patients with chronic low back pain
    (SPRINGER LONDON LTD) SARI, ZÜBEYİR; Ozden, Fatih; Sari, Zubeyir; Karaman, Ozgur N.; Aydogmus, Huseyin
    Background The efficacy of exercise-based telerehabilitation in chronic low back pain (CLBP) has not been well studied. To our knowledge, no other studies have investigated the efficacy of video exercise-based telerehabilitation software in the remote management of home exercises in patients with CLBP. Aims The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of the video-based exercise software on pain, function, quality-of-life, expectation, satisfaction, and motivation in individuals with CLBP. Methods A double-blind, two-armed randomized controlled trial was carried out with 50 individuals with CLBP. Participants were randomly allocated to either the telerehabilitation group (n = 25) or the conventional rehabilitation group (n = 25). The telerehabilitation group was followed up with a video exercise-based telerehabilitation software called Fizyoweb. The clinician was able to communicate with the patients through the software. The conventional rehabilitation group was given the same home exercises as the paper-based exercise instruction form. Pain, function, quality-of-life, and kinesiophobia were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention. In addition, patient expectations were questioned at the initial evaluation; afterward, patient satisfaction and motivation were questioned at the eighth week. Results After 8 weeks of treatment, the telerehabilitation group achieved significant improvement in pain, function, quality-of-life, kinesiophobia, satisfaction, and motivation (p < 0.05). In addition, the telerehabilitation group reported more significant gains in all parameters compared with the conventional rehabilitation group (p < 0.05). Conclusions The video exercise-based telerehabilitation software positively affects clinical parameters and adherence to rehabilitation in patients with CLBP.
