Publication Metadata only The effects of therapeutic exercises on pain, muscle strength, functional capacity, balance and hemodynamic parameters in knee osteoarthritis patients: a randomized controlled study of supervised versus home exercises(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2017) ACAR, GÖNÜL; Colak, Tugba Kuru; Kavlak, Bahar; Aydogdu, Onur; Sahin, Emir; Acar, Gonul; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Sari, Zubeyir; Colak, Ilker; Bulut, Guven; Polat, M. GuldenThe aim of the study was to compare the effects of low-intensity exercise programs for lower extremities, either supervised or at home, on pain, muscle strength, balance and the hemodynamic parameters of knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients. This randomized study included 78 patients with knee OA in 2 groups of supervised and home-based exercise program. Exercises were applied to the first group in the clinic as a group exercise program and were demonstrated to the second group to be performed at home. Before and after the 6-week exercise program, assessment was made of pain, quadriceps and hamstring muscle strengths, 6-min walk test (6MWT), and non-invasive hemodynamic parameters. Results of the 78 patients, 56 completed the study. Pain, muscle strength, and 6MWT scores showed significant improvements in both groups. There were also significant differences in the amount of change in pain and muscle strength (pain: p = 0.041, Rqdc: 0.009, Lqdc: 0.013, Rhms: 0.04) which indicated greater improvements in the supervised group. The balance scores of supervised group showed a significant improvement (p = 0.009). No significant change was determined in hemodynamic parameters of either group. Conclusion according to the results of this study showed that low-intensity lower extremity exercises conducted in a clinic under the supervision of a physiotherapist were more effective than home-based exercises in reducing post-activity pain levels and improving quadriceps and right hamstring muscle strength. Both the supervised and home exercise programs were seen to be effective in reducing rest pain and increasing 6 MW distance in knee osteoarthritis patients.Publication Open Access An Investigation of the Effects of Holographic Wristbands on Strength, Balance and Flexibility - a Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Study(SOC PHYSICAL THERAPY SCIENCE, 2012) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Sari, Zubeyir; Kablan, Nilufer; Ozgul, Bahar; Aydogdu, Onur; Timurtas, Eren; Tutuncuoglu, Fatih; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk; Polat, Mine Gulden[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of holographic wristbands on strength, balance and flexibility. [Subjects and Methods] The study included 43 healthy university students, 15 females (34.88%) and 28 males (65.12%), attending the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Marmara University. The age of the participants ranged from 19 to 27 (mean age 21.2 +/- 1.7 years). Strength, balance with eyes open, balance with eyes closed and flexibility were evaluated under four different conditions of wearing holographic EFX (R), PWX (R) and placebo wristbands, and no wristband. [Results] In evaluations of strength, balance with eyes are open, balance with eyes closed and flexibility, a significant difference was observed in favor of the placebo wristband compared to the PWX (R) wristband. For the other tests, holographic wristbands had no effect on strength, flexibility or balance with eyes closed. [Conclusion] It was concluded that holographic wristbands, which are marketed asergogenic aids, have no effect on strength, balance or flexibility.Publication Open Access A new device for assessment and training the human balance and coordination: Marmara Balance and Education System (MarBES)(2023-01-01) KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; ÖZEN BERKOL, TUĞÇE; GÜNAY YAZICI, CANAN; SARI, ZÜBEYİR; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; DOĞAN, BARIŞ; TARIM, MEHVEŞ; KURU ÇOLAK T., Özen T., Günay Yazıcı C., Sarı D.

Balance and coordination assessment and training are used by physiotherapists in many different rehabilitation areas. Marmara Balance and Education System (MarBES) is a device developed to evaluate and improve balance and coordination. Aims: To examine the test–retest reliability of the MarBES device. Methods: Double-leg and single-leg (eyes open-closed) tests were applied to healthy young adult participants for balance testing on the MarBES device. Weight data is estimated from pressure sensors located in 4 different corners and a score is calculated with computer software for the individual’s center of gravity (center of pressure X, Y) and the amount of deviation from the center for each axis. Weight transfer to the target surface was measured for assessment of the participants’ coordination performance. Participants rested for 10 min and all measurements were repeated by the same evaluator. The obtained data were recorded and the reliability of the measurements was evaluated with Spearman’s rho correlation analysis. Results: A total of 40 healthy young individuals (28 female) with a mean age of 21 years were included. The balance assessments with MarBES showed moderate to good reliability (ICC: 0.535–0.903). The coordination assessment results showed moderate to good reliability (ICC: 0.575–0.712). Conclusions: Objective evaluation of balance and coordination parameters is very important in rehabilitation. Results of the study showed that the MarBES device developed by the researchers is a reliable method for the evaluation of balance and coordination in healthy young individuals.
