Publication Metadata only The relationship between objective balance, perceived sense of balance, and fear of falling in stroke patients(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Oguz, Semra; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Kavlak, Bahar; Acar, Gonul; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk; Polat, Mine GuldenObjective: The objective of our study was to investigate the relationship between objective balance, fear of falling, and perceived sense of balance (PSB) in stroke patients. Methods: Seventy patients aged 18-65 years with chronically developed hemiplegia or hemiparesis were enrolled in the study. Patients' objective balance scores, fear of falling, and PSB were obtained using the berg balance scale (BBS), the falls efficacy scale (FES), and a visual analog scale, respectively. The Standard Mini-Mental Examination was performed to exclude patients with mental disorders from the study. Results: There was a moderate negative correlation between PSB and BBS scores (p = 0.001, rho = -0.588); a strong negative correlation between BBS and FES scores (p = 0.001, rho = -0.808); and a strong positive correlation between PSB and FES scores (p = 0.001, rho = 0.714). We found that BBS scores had negative correlation with PBS scores in left hemiplegic patients while there was no any relationship between BBS and PBS scores in right hemiplegic patients. Conclusion: PSB assessment, besides the BBS, should be considered among the routine assessment methods that enable the rehabilitation team to be aware of patients' balance capacities.Publication Metadata only Successful treatment of Juvenile parkinsonism with bilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation in a 14-year-old patient with parkin gene mutation(2016) OĞUZ, SEMRA; Genç, Gençer; Apaydın, Hülya; Gündüz, Ayşegül; Poyraz, Çağrı; Oğuz, Semra; Yağcı, Selin; Canaz, Hüseyin; Aydın, Sabri; Gündoğdu-Eken, Aslı; Başak, Ayşe Nazlı; Ertan, SibelPublication Open Access Health related quality of life in patients with epilepsy in Turkey(SOC PHYSICAL THERAPY SCIENCE, 2016) OĞUZ, SEMRA; Mutluay, Fatma Karantay; Gunduz, Aysegul; Tekeoglu, Anil; Oguz, Semra; Yeni, Seher Naz[Purpose] This study measured the quality of life in epilepsy and determined associated demographic and clinical factors by means of the Short Form-36 health survey. [Subjects and Methods] 124 consecutive epilepsy patients were enrolled and their demographic variables and clinical characteristics recorded. The Short Form-36 questionnaire was completed independently by each participant. Short Form-36 dimensional and composite scores were computed and scaled with data from an extensive survey of the healthy population. [Results] Short Form-36 scores for physical dimensions were similar to healthy values, but those for mental dimensions except for energy/vitality were remarkably and significantly lower than normal. All Short Form-36 average scores for women were lower than those for men and significantly so for mental health composite scores. Patients responding well to treatment were aware of their improving health as measured by the Change in Health score and had better dimensional scores than those with a poor response. [Conclusion] Patients with epilepsy do not perceive impaired physical health status. However, their mental health appears vulnerable, especially in women. Therefore, the major burden in epilepsy is in the mental health category. A positive treatment response is also an important determinant of the related quality of life measure.Publication Metadata only Cortical Relay Time Shortens in Parkinson's Disease with Apraxia(JOURNAL NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES, 2017) OĞUZ, SEMRA; Gunduz, Aysegul; Kiziltan, Meral E.; Kumru, Hatice; Oguz, Semra; Kiziltan, Gunes; Ertan, Sibel; Apaydin, HulyaCortical relay time (CRT) is a neurophysiologic method that measures transmission between sensory and motor cortices. In this study, we calculated CRT to evaluate intrahemispheric transmission in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). We recorded the following parameters: 1) long latency reflexes (LLRs), 2) motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), and 3) somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) according to previously published reports, and cortical relay time was calculated using the following formula: Latency of LLR II - (onset latency of MEP response + latency of N20 response of SEP). CRT was shorter in patients with apraxia compared with patients without apraxia. The findings may raise the possibility of intrahemispheric aberrant conduction or abnormal synaptic reorganization in the presence of apraxia in PD.Publication Metadata only Spastisite ve fizyoterapisi(Türkiye Klinikleri, 2018-01-01) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; OĞUZ, SEMRA; DEMİRBÜKEN İ., OĞUZ S.Spastisite; santral sinir sistemi hasarına bağlı gelişen, multidispliner yaklaşım gerektiren hareket bozukluğu ile karakterize bir klinik tablodur. Spastisite mekanizmaları oldukça karmaşıktır. Ana problem spinal refleks kontrolü kaybıdır. Hıza bağlı kas tonusundaki artış nedeniyle hastaların fiziksel kapasiteleri ve günlük yaşamları etkilenir. Bu sebeple spastisite tedavisi basitçe tonus azalmaktan ziyade fonksiyonu optimize etmek ve komplikasyonları önlemeyi amaçlamalıdır. Mevcut tedavi yaklaşımları oldukça çeşitlidir ancak hasta için en uygun tedavi yöntemini seçebilmek için detaylı ve dikkatli bir klinik değerlendirme yapılmalıdır. Bu yazıda fizyoterapi kliniklerinde sıklıkla kullanılan değerlendirme ve tedavi yaklaşımlarından kısaca bahsedilirken spastisite mekanizmaları en basit şekliyle açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.Publication Metadata only Üniversite öğrencilerinde uyku kalitesi fonksiyonel kapasite ve psikolojik durum arasındaki ilişki(2016-09-30) YILDIZ ÖZER, AYSEL; OĞUZ, SEMRA; YURDALAN, SAADET UFUK; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; YILDIZ A., OĞUZ S., YURDALAN S.
