    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.

    The Effect of Virtual Rehabilitation Added to an Accelerated Rehabilitation Program After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (MARMARA UNIV, INST HEALTH SCIENCES, 2019-06-30) POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; Karakoc, Zehra Betul; Colak, Tugba Kuru; Sari, Zubeyir; Polat, Mine Gulden
    Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of virtual rehabilitation on balance and functionality in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods: A total of 22 males who had undergone ACL reconstruction were divided into Nintendo and control groups. Both of the groups received six week accelerated rehabilitation in our department, and the Nintendo Wii(C) (Nintendo, Washington, USA) balance games were added to Nintendo group after three weeks for forty minutes a day, three times a week. Patients were evaluated for pain (visual analog scale), functionality (Lower Extremity Functional Scale), center of gravity (COG) and balance (Nintendo Wii(C)) at the baseline and end of the 3th and 6th week of rehabilitation program. Results: Similar improvements were determined in the pain, functionality, COG and balance scores of the two groups at the end of the treatment program and there were no significant differences between the groups in the amount of change in all parameters (p= 0.256, 0.393, 0.707, 1.000). Conclusion: According to the results of this study the Nintendo Wii(C) balance games applied in the clinic under physiotherapist supervision did not change the outcome of the rehabilitation in early period after ACL reconstruction.
