    The effect of different body mass index levels on static and dynamic postural balance performance in adults
    (2023-01-01) TİMURTAŞ, EREN; SELÇUK, HALİT; DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; TİMURTAŞ E., SELÇUK H., Canoz E. U., Kortelli O. S., DEMİRBÜKEN İ., POLAT M. G.
    Purpose: It was aimed to estimate the static and dynamic postural balance performance in adults with different Body Mass Index (BMI) levels. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in Üsküdar Diabetes and Obesity Treatment Center between September and October 2021. Participants were divided into 5 groups according to BMI scores: normal-weight, overweight, 1st degree obese, 2nd degree obese, and 3rd degree obese. In addition, participants' static and dynamic balance performance were assessed by the Limits of Stability (LOS) and modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration of Balance (m-CTSIB) tests. Results: For LOS parameters, there was a significant difference between groups in reaction time scores only for the backward direction (p<0.05). The endpoint and maximum excursion measurements except for the backward and directional control measurements except for the back and right were significantly different between groups, with the worst scores for 3rd degree obese group (p<0.05). For the m-CTSIB test, there was a significant difference between groups in all parameters except the eyes open condition on foam surface (p<0.05). Conclusion: The 3rd degree obese individuals are the most affected subgroup in dynamic balance. We recommended that rehabilitation and fall prevention programs primarily focus on 3rd degree obese individuals. Keywords: Limits of stability test, modified clinical test of sensory integration of balance, postural balance, body mass index

    The effect of phantom sensation on the autocorrelation of gait in amputation
    (2023-01-01) SELÇUK, HALİT; Kurt I., ULUKAYA S., Selcuk H., Aydin N. S., Salar S., Keklicek H.
    Amputation affects the individual\"s entire life with a long rehabilitation and adaptation process. Phantom sensation is the sensing of the presence/position of the limb that existed before but subsequently lost its function. Our research aims to investigate the effect of phantom limb sensation on the autocorrelation of gait in individuals with transtibial amputation. In this context, autocorrelation function (ACF), rescaled range analysis (RRA), and power spectrum density (PSD) evaluations are employed to analyze the acceleration data of gait from the vertical plane. Subjects with unilateral trans-tibial amputation and prostheses were involved in the work. As a result, the gait profile of individuals with phantom sensation for approximately 512 steps on a non-perturbed ground is similar to healthy individuals by the results obtained from all three methods. This shows us that phantom sensation can be a functional part of gait and is a supporting factor for amputees in the adaptation process.

    Muscle activation of the upper trapezius and functional typing performance during computer typing task: A comparison of two different wrist immobilization methods
    (ELSEVIER, 2021) YILDIZ ÖZER, AYSEL; Aydin, Nimet Sermenli; Dilbay, Nilufer Keskin; Selcuk, Halit; Ozer, Aysel Yildiz
    Background: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of two different wrist immobilization methods on the muscle activation of the upper trapezius muscle and functional typing performance during computer typing tasks in office workers. Methods: The study was conducted on 11 healthy office workers. The study subjects were asked to type on a computer for 5 min (1) without splint or taping, (2) with a splint, (3) with rigid taping which limits the wrist flexion at the dominant side. The upper trapezius muscle activation was recorded by surface EMG during the task. The mean values obtained from EMG were normalized according to Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC), comparisons were made according to %MVIC. Results: The office workers' mean age was 27.45 +/- 3.64 years. There was no significant difference in immobilization methods between %MVIC on dominant (p = .508) and non-dominant (p = .213) sides. The upper trapezius of the non-dominant side showed higher electromyographic activity when the subjects used a splint (p = .013). There was a significant difference between splinting and rigid taping methods in typing performance (z =-2,491, p = .013). Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the upper trapezius muscle activation between the splint and rigid taping methods during the computer typing task on the dominant side. The typing performance was affected more during splint use compared to rigid tape application. Considering the importance of work efficiency in employees, rigid taping might be considered as an alternative splinting for wristimmobilization in office workers. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

    Influence of self-reported knee instability on outcomes following education and exercise: A cohort study of 2,466 patients with knee osteoarthritis
    (2023-01-01) SELÇUK, HALİT; SELÇUK H., Roos E. M. M., Gronne D. T. T., Thorlund J. B. B., Sari Z., Skou S. T.
    ObjectiveTo study the influence of self-reported knee instability on changes in knee pain and gait speed following patient education and supervised exercise therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). MethodsWe included patients enrolled in the Good Life With Osteoarthritis in Denmark (GLA:D) program, an 8-week education and supervised neuromuscular exercise program. Patients were classified into 4 groups according to their level of self-reported knee instability (never; rarely; sometimes; most of the time or all the time). Knee pain intensity was evaluated on a 0-100 mm scale and gait speed from the 4 x 10 meters fast-paced walk test at baseline and after the program. Using linear regression, we examined the association between knee instability and the change in pain and gait speed, respectively. Sex, age, body mass index, physical activity level, and previous knee surgery were covariates in adjusted models. ResultsAmong 2,466 patients with knee OA, mean baseline pain and gait speed varied between 38-59 mm and 1.39-1.56 meters/second in patients experiencing no instability and patients experiencing instability most or all the time, respectively. All instability groups improved in pain and gait speed. Compared to the no instability group, patients reporting instability most or all the time experienced larger improvements in pain (4.3 mm [95% confidence interval 1.2, 7.5]), while no difference between instability groups was found for gait speed. ConclusionKnee OA patients with self-reported instability seem to benefit even more from a patient education and supervised exercise therapy program than OA patients without instability.

    Sağlık Alanlarında Eğitim Gören Öğrencilerin Skolyoz ile İlgili Bilgi Düzeyi
    (2020-05-08) SELÇUK, HALİT; TUĞBA KURU ÇOLAK;Nimet SERMENLİ AYDIN;HALİT SELÇUK;Berivan Beril KILIÇ;Özden YAŞARER;Dilara Merve SARI
    Giriş: Skolyoz, omurgada üç boyutlu deformiteye oluşturması nedeniyle fiziksel, psikolojik, sosyal ve kozmetikaçıdan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye’de sağlık alanında öğrenim gören lisansöğrencilerinin skolyoz hakkındaki temel bilgi düzeylerininin araştırılmasıdır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2018 – 2019 öğretim döneminde sağlık bilimleri alanında lisans ve ön lisans öğrencisi olankatılımcılardan araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan 17 sorudan oluşan sorgulama formunun online olarakdoldurulması istendi. Veriler SPSS v.22.0 ile tanımlayıcı yöntemler kullanılarak analiz edildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya 60 farklı üniversitede öğrenim gören 611 öğrenci katıldı. Katılımcıların %83,6’sı (n=511)skolyozu ‘omurga eğriliği’ olarak tanımladı. Fizyoterapi lisans öğrencilerinin %87,7’si ve Tıp Fakültesi öğrencilerinin%82,2’si skolyoz teriminin tanımını bilmekteydi. Öğrencilerin %40’ı skolyozdan şüphesi olduğunda bireyleri hangisağlık profesyoneline göndermesi gerektiğini biliyordu. Öğrencilerin bilgi düzeyi öğretim yıllarının artması ileartmaktaydı.Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonucu 4. sınıf öğrencilerinin önemli bir kısmının skolyoz ile ilgili temel bilgi düzeyine sahipolmadan mezun olacağını göstermiştir. Erken tanı için toplumda skolyoz farkındalığının artması gerekmektedir,toplumsal farkındalığın artması da öncelikli olarak sağlık çalışanlarının farkındalığının ve bilgi düzeylerinin artmasıile mümkün olabilir.
