Publication Open Access Efficacy of neurodevelopmental treatment combined with the Nintendo (R) Wii in patients with cerebral palsy(SOC PHYSICAL THERAPY SCIENCE, 2016) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Acar, Gonul; Altun, Gamze Polen; Yurdalan, SaadetUfuk; Polat, Mine Gulden[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of Nintendo (R) Wii games in addition to neurodevelopmental treatment in patients with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty hemiparetic cerebral palsy patients (16 females, 14 males; mean age, 6-15 years) were included in the study and divided into two groups: a neurodevelopmental treatment+Nintendo Wii group (group 1, n=15) and a neurodevelopmental treatment group (group 2, n=15). Both groups received treatment in 45-minute sessions 2 days/week for six weeks. Use of the upper extremities, speed, disability and functional independence were evaluated using the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test, Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test, ABILHAND-Kids test, and Pediatric Functional Independence Measure (self-care) before and after treatment. [Results] There were statistically significant improvements in all parameters for group 1 and group 2 (except quality of function) after six weeks of treatment. Intergroup analysis showed that group 1 was superior to group 2 in mean change differences in the Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test. [Conclusion] Our results showed that neurodevelopmental treatment is effective for improving hand functions in hemiplegic cerebral palsy. To provide a enjoyable, motivational, safe, and effective rehabilitation program, the Nintendo (R) Wii may be used in addition to neurodevelopmental treatment.Publication Open Access Gender and age impact on plantar pressure distribution in early adolescence(TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2019-05) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Ozgul, Bahar; Timurtas, Eren; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk; Cekin, Murat Dincer; Polat, Mine GuldenObjective: The aim of the study was to investigate gender and age effect on dynamic plantar pressure distribution in early adolescence. Methods: A total of 524 adolescents (211 women and 313 men; mean age: 12.58 +/- 1.11 years (range: 11-14 years)) participated in pedobarographic measurements during gait at self-selected speed. Data of peak pressure (PP), maximum force (MaxF-Newton), body weight corrected maximum force (BW_MaxF), contact area (CA-cm(2)) were analyzed for total foot and four plantar regions (hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot and toes). Results: Higher toes PP was found in the ages of 12-14 years in females compared to males (253.79 +/- 104.93 vs 216.00 +/- 81.12 for the age of 12, p = 0.011, 264.40 +/- 65.02 vs 227.21 +/- 83.4 for the age of 13, p = 0.044, 299.75 +/- 140.60 vs 238.75 +/- 103.32 for the age of 14, p = 0.005). Females' higher MaxF especially for toes (136.24 +/- 48.54 vs 115.33 +/- 46.03, p = 0.008) and smaller CA especially for forefoot (50.12 +/- 5.79 vs 54.4893 +/- 6.80, p = 0.001) were considerable in the late of early adolescence. Forefoot (305.66 +/- 82.14 females p = 0.001, 281.35 +/- 79.59 males p < 0.001) and total foot PP (374.08 +/- 113.93 females, p = 0.035, 338.61 +/- 85.85 males p = 0.009) at the age of 14 was significantly higher than in younger ages in both gender groups. Conclusion: The results indicate that especially the age of 14 years in early adolescence is a critical age for alteration in plantar pressure distribution. Interestingly females tended to increase their toe and forefoot plantar pressures compared to males by increasing age. We suggest that gender and age impact on toes plantar pressure alterations in early adolescence may be a possible risk factor for further foot impairments.

U. , Kaya Narter F.© 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Objective: Trunk control is associated with gross motor development. This study examines the relationship between segmental trunk control and gross motor performance in low birth weight (LBW) infants Methods: A total of 42 LBW infants and 43 normal birth weight (NBW) infants aged 3–9 months were sampled for this cross-sectional study. All infants were evaluated one time by the Segmental Assessment Trunk Control (SATCo) and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) Results: Statistically high and significant correlations were found between gross motor performance and segmental trunk control in all sample populations (r = 0.835; p = .001). No statistically significant difference was found regarding the segmental trunk control between the groups (p = .119). The LBW infants with atypical motor development had poorer trunk control than the LBW infants with typical development (f = 5.480; p = .001). Conclusion: Our results show that LBW infants with atypical motor development had poorer trunk control than LBW infants with typical motor development. It was found that the segmental trunk controls of LBW infants were 0.398 times lower than in NBW infants.Publication Metadata only Effects of structured home-based exercise program on depression status and quality of life in burn patients(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018) ÜNLÜ, BEGÜM; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk; Unlu, Begum; Seyyah, Mine; Senyildiz, Batuhan; Cetin, Yunus Kubilay; Cimen, MenekseBackground: Burns can cause life-threatening injuries and severe limitations. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the structured home-based exercise program on depression status and quality of life in burn patients. Materials and methods: This study was carried out in the Wound and Burn Treatment Department of University of Health Sciences, Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul. Thirty burn patients voluntarily participated in this study. Patients' demographic data such as burn area and grade, percentage, type, number of grafts, and duration of hospitalization were recorded. The quality of life was evaluated using the Short Form-36(SF-36), and depression status was evaluated using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The home-based exercise program was defined by the clinical physiotherapist on the day when the patient was discharged. The home-based exercise program was applied for 3 weeks. Evaluations were performed at discharge and repeated after 3 weeks at the end of the exercise program. Results: Of the 30 patients who completed the study (age range, 21-61 years; mean,34.9 +/- 12.99 years), 96.7% (n=29) were male and 3.3% (n=l) were female. A statistically significant difference was observed between BDI and SF-36 scores before and after the home-based exercise program (p<0.05). BDI scores decreased after the home-based exercise program, whereas SF-36 scores increased. Conclusion: Our study concludes that burn patients who underwent the structured home-based exercise programs attained acceleration of their physical, social, and psychological integrity. Thus, establishing a structured home-based exercise program according to the burn type and clinical course should be continued. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd and ISBI. All rights reserved.
