    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.

    Influence of self-reported knee instability on outcomes following education and exercise: A cohort study of 2,466 patients with knee osteoarthritis

    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.
