Publication Open Access Reliability of balance evaluation using Pedalo®-Sensomove Balance device in healthy young individuals(2022-11-25) GÜNAY YAZICI, CANAN; ÖZEN BERKOL, TUĞÇE; ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; SARI, ZÜBEYİR; Günay Yazıcı C., Özen Berkol T., Özgül B., Kuru Çolak T., Sarı Z.Purpose: It is important to assess the integrity of the balance system to predict individual balance and coordination abilities. MarBES is a device consisting of 9 led scales and 4 pressure sensor systems developed to evaluate and improve balance and coordination as a TÜBİTAK 3001 project. Weight data is estimated from pressure sensors located in 4 different corners and a score is calculated with computer software for the individual\"s center of gravity (Centre of pressure X, Y) and the amount of deviation from the center for each axis.. The aim of this study is to examine the test-retest reliability of the MarBES device. Methods: Double-leg and single-leg (eyes open-closed) tests were applied to healthy young adult participants for balance testing on the MarBES device. Weight transfer to the target surface was measured for assessment of the participants coordination performance. Participants rested for 10 minutes and all measurements were repeated by the same evaluator. The obtained data were recorded and the reliability of the measurements was evaluated with Pearson correlation analysis. Results: A total of 33 healthy young individuals (24 F; 9 M) with a mean age of 21±0.96 years were included in the study. In the correlation analysis, there was a strong correlation in all measurement parameters of the MarBES device except for X axis measurements of right leg (eyes open) and double leg eyes closed (p<0.005). Conclusion: Objective evaluation of balance and coordination parameters is very important in rehabilitation. Resulde of the study showed that the MarBES device developed by the researchers is a reliable method for the evaluation of balance and coordination in healthy young individuals.

Consequently, a Lisfranc injury may lead to disruption of the biomechanics of the normal foot during walking and may alter the plantar pressure distribution, which is essential for proper gait mechanics. Therefore, the main purpose of the study was to specify the dynamic plantar pressure, radiographic and clinical features, after surgically managed Lisfranc injuries. Methods This study was carried out over a period of 10 years and included 62 patients who were surgically treated for Lisfranc injury, with mean 57-month follow-up. Radiological (intermetatarsal, Kite's, first metatarsophalangeal, Meary's, Hibbs' and calcaneal pitch angles, and medial cuneiform-fifth metatarsal distance), pedobarographical, and clinical results with the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score assessments for both feet were assessed. Results In the radiological assessment, the mean first intermetatarsal (p = 0.006) and Meary's angle (p = 0.000) were decreased on the injured feet compared to the uninjured feet on the anteroposterior and lateral radiographs. In the pedobarographic assessment, the injured feet midfoot contact time increased (p = 0.03), and maximum force (p = 0.001), total peak pressure (p = 0.008), and contact area (p = 0.017) decreased, compared to the uninjured feet. The mean AOFAS score was 75/100 at the final follow-up visit. There was seen to be reduced both contact surface area and time of the midfoot. Conclusion Despite surgical management of Lisfranc injuries, the injured foot does not regain functional, radiological, or pedobarographical levels as compared to the uninjured foot for >= 57 months.Publication Open Access Mapping the most problematic functions in chronic low back pain patients: Analysis of the patient-specific functional scale(2023-01-01) ÖZEN BERKOL, TUĞÇE; KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; ÖZEN T., KURU ÇOLAK T., ÇOLAK İ., TATARLI N.Aim: Difficulty in functioning is one of the reasons by patients with low back pain (LBP) seek help. The purpose was to identify the problematic functions of chronic LBP patients using the Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and investigate the related factors with the PSFS scores. Material and Methods: One-hundred LBP patients were included. The responses obtained from PSFS were linked to the ICF categories based on the linking procedure. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and physical measurements were used for clinical assessment. Correlations were analyzed with Spearman’s rho correlation. Results: The identified 327 meaningful concepts were linked to 28 different 2ndlevel and 40 different 3rd level ICF categories. PSFS was found to correlate with the pain level during activity, perceived disability, and some domains of the health-related quality of life (p<0.05), while kinesiophobia and emotional status did not correlate with PSFS scores (p>0.05). Among physical tests, flexibility measurements correlated with PSFS scores (p<0.05). Discussion: Chronic LBP patients reported various functions. The content analyses showed the need for an extension of the ICF core sets for LBP. This study also revealed that not all PROMs and physical outcomes are able to reflect the difficulty level of the problematic activities. Assessment with PSFS may be beneficial for individually tailored treatment programs.

Balance and coordination assessment and training are used by physiotherapists in many different rehabilitation areas. Marmara Balance and Education System (MarBES) is a device developed to evaluate and improve balance and coordination. Aims: To examine the test–retest reliability of the MarBES device. Methods: Double-leg and single-leg (eyes open-closed) tests were applied to healthy young adult participants for balance testing on the MarBES device. Weight data is estimated from pressure sensors located in 4 different corners and a score is calculated with computer software for the individual’s center of gravity (center of pressure X, Y) and the amount of deviation from the center for each axis. Weight transfer to the target surface was measured for assessment of the participants’ coordination performance. Participants rested for 10 min and all measurements were repeated by the same evaluator. The obtained data were recorded and the reliability of the measurements was evaluated with Spearman’s rho correlation analysis. Results: A total of 40 healthy young individuals (28 female) with a mean age of 21 years were included. The balance assessments with MarBES showed moderate to good reliability (ICC: 0.535–0.903). The coordination assessment results showed moderate to good reliability (ICC: 0.575–0.712). Conclusions: Objective evaluation of balance and coordination parameters is very important in rehabilitation. Results of the study showed that the MarBES device developed by the researchers is a reliable method for the evaluation of balance and coordination in healthy young individuals.
