AgahObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the physical activity and physical fitness levels in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and to compare the data with those in healthy individuals. Methods: The study included 82 patients with FMS and 110 healthy individuals. In order to compare physical activity levels, all the subjects responded to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Long Form (IPAQ). The health-related physical fitness of the subjects was evaluated by body composition, muscle endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, and balance. Body mass index (BMI), sit-up test, 6-min walk test, sit and reach test, body lateral flexion, and Kinesthetic Ability Trainer 3000 (KAT 3000) were used to determine body composition, muscle endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, and balance, respectively. Results: Of the patients with FMS, 36.6% were inactive, 45.1% were insufficiently active, and 18.3% were active. Of the healthy individuals, 40.9% were active, 36.4% were insufficiently active, and 22.7% were inactive. Significant differences were found (p<0.05) in IPAQ walking and total scores between the groups. The sit-up test scores (p<0.001) and right and left body lateral flexion scores (p<0.001) were significantly different between the FMS patient and control groups. Conclusion: Our results showed that the physical activity and physical fitness levels of patients with FMS were lower than those of healthy individuals.Publication Open Access INVESTIGATION OF IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF CERVICAL STABILISATION EXERCISES ON PROPRIOCEPTION IN PATIENTS WITH NECK PAIN(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-06) TONGA, EDA; Tonga, E.; Ozen, T.; Timurtas, E.; Polat, G.

G.Publication Open Access Comparison of Physical Activity Levels in Rheumatic Diseases(GEORG THIEME VERLAG KG, 2017-08) TONGA, EDA; Acar, M.; Tonga, E.; Daskapan, A.; Karatas, M.; Tekindal, A.Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate levels of physical activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and to compare the results with both healthy subjects and each other. Methods A group of 50 rheumatoid arthritis patients, 95 osteoarthritis patients, 82 fibromyalgia patients and 110 healthy subjects were included in this study. Physical activity levels were assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results There were significant differences in walking and total physical activity scores in IPAQ between the rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), fibromyalgia (FMS) patients and the control group (p < 0.05). 36.6 % of the fibromyalgia group, 28.4 % of the osteoarthritis group, 38 % of the rheumatoid arthritis group and 22.7 % of the healthy subjects were found to be inactive. 45.1 % of the fibromyalgia group, 42.1 % of the osteoarthritis group, 46 % of the rheumatoid arthritis group and 36.4 % of the healthy subjects were found to be insufficiently active. Conclusion As a result, when compared to healthy people, physical activity levels were significantly decreased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia. The decreases in the physical activity levels were clearer in patients with rheumatoid arthritis than in patients with osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Recommending regular physical activity should be integral to rheumatic disease management and walking offers a potentially accessible, inexpensive, and acceptable physical activity intervention.Publication Metadata only Development and reliability of a Turkish version of the Short Form-Joint Protection Behavior Assessment (JPBA-S)(HANLEY & BELFUS-ELSEVIER INC, 2016) TONGA, EDA; Tonga, Eda; Uysal, Songul Atasavun; Karayazgan, Sedef; Hayran, Mutlu; Duger, TulinStudy design: Clinical measurement. Purpose: To adapt the original JPBA-S to a Turkish version (TUR-JPBA-S) and to investigate its reliability in assessing patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Twenty-two participants with RA and 21 healthy people were videotaped while performing tasks listed in the TUR-JPBA-S. Two raters scored the video recordings for to evaluate inter-rater reliability. One rater re-analyzed the recordings at a different time point for intra-rater reliability. Participants with RA were asked to perform the same tasks after three to four weeks which was also recorded to evaluate test-retest reliability. Results: Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha value) was found to be high (0.89) for participants with RA. Our results demonstrate excellent intra-rater (ICC: 0.99, SEM 1.2) inter-rater (ICC: 0.99, SEM 1.7) reliability, apart from excellent test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.96). Conclusion: The TUR-JPBA-S is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing JP behavior in patients with RA in Turkey. (C) 2016 Hanley & Belfus, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

G., Akar S.Publication Open Access Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20)(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2016-12) TONGA, EDA; Ozdemir, Ozlem Cinar; Tonga, Eda; Tekindal, Agah; Bakar, YesimBackground: Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a well-defined and known disorder which impact on related-health quality of life (QoL). The Chronic Venous Insufficiency Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ) is a disease-specific instrument to measure the impact of chronic venous insufficiency on patients' lives. The purpose of this study is to cross-culturally adapted the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) for Turkish-speaking patients and determine the psychometric properties of reliability, validity and factor structure in a Turkish population with CVD. Methods: The CIVIQ-20 was translated into Turkish and culturally adapted using a double forward-backward protocol according to established guidelines. Individuals (n = 140) with venous diseases completed the CIVIQ-20, Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study (VEINES-QoL/Sym) and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) questionnaires at baseline and 1 month later. Results: Cronbach's a value was 0.93. Test-retest reliability was determined as moderate (ICC2:1 = 0.80). There was a significant correlation between CIVIQ-Tk and Nottingham and VEINES-QoL total scores (Nottingham 1:r = 0.770; p < 0.00, Nottingham 2: r = 0.7000; p < 0) (VEINES-QoL: r = -0.574; p < 0.00, VEINES-QoL 2: -0.592, p: 0.00). The measurement error were calculated from SEM and MDC90. The SEM was 2.63 and the MDC90 was 5.79. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated a three factor structure that explained 56.32 % of total variance. Conclusion: The CVIQ-20 Turkish is a reliable and valid instrument for Turkish speaking patients with chronic venous insufficiency.
