    Effect of high voltage pulsed current on pain and strength of back muscles in patients with back problems: a randomized controlled study
    (2010-12-01) SARI, ZÜBEYİR; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; SARI Z., Sener G., Yakut Y., POLAT M. G., Horoz H., Arman A.
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of high voltage pulsed current on back extension muscle strengthening and pain. Materials and methods: Forty two patients with back pain syndrome participated in this study. Twenty one patients (mean age 43.62 +/- 14.46 years) formed the control group in which hot packs, ultrasound, TENS and exercise program including strengthening and stretching exercises were given. Besides these modalities, high voltage pulsed current and exercise program including strengthening and stretching exercises were given to the study group consisting of 21 patients (mean age 43.81 +/- 12.32 years). Results: The difference between within-group parameters was found statistically significant (p0.05). Alleviation in pain level and decrease in Oswestry disability index scores was found statistically significant in the study group when compared with the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that high voltage pulsed current with exercise is not effective in increasing muscle strength, however it can help to reduce pain and can provide ease in activities of daily living.

    A new device for assessment and training the human balance and coordination: Marmara Balance and Education System (MarBES)

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.

    The Treatment Expectation Questionnaire Tool: A Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation in Turkey
    (2024-01-01) ÖZTÜRK, MEHMET SAADEDDİN; KURU ÇOLAK, TUĞBA; SARI, ZÜBEYİR; POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; Cakir F., Gercek H., ÖZTÜRK M. S., KURU ÇOLAK T., SARI Z., POLAT M. G.
    Patients’ general treatment expectations are an important indicator of the outcomes of the various treatments they will receive. There is a need for valid and reliable assessment tools that measure the expectations of patients receiving rehabilitation services. This study aimed to translate and validate the Treatment Expectations Questionnaire (TR.TEX-Q) in Turkish patients to assess their treatment-specific expectations. 150 physiotherapy patients were enrolled in the study. The original version of the Treatment Expectation Questionnaire was translated into Turkish. Cronbach’s α was used to investigate internal consistency. Intraclass correlation coefficients were used to assess test–retest reliability. Pearsons’s correlation was used to calculate convergent and divergent validity. Principal component analysis produced a 15-items scale which had a 6-factors structure. Cronbach’s α values ranged from.649 to.879. Test–retest reliability was high for total score and for all subscales. The ICC was between.622 and.852, p <.001. TR.TEX-Q showed good convergent validity, a moderate correlation was found between the Positivity Scale (rho =.45, p <.001). For divergent validity, low to moderate correlation was found between the TR.TEX-Q and the HADS scores. The Turkish version of Treatment Expectation Questionnaire has good reliability and validity data in terms of evaluating the treatment expectations of patients who will receive physiotherapy.
