Publication Open Access Response to: Comment on A Better Way to Decrease Knee Swelling in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Single-Blind Randomised Controlled Trial(HINDAWI LTD, 2020-12-22) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Sari, Zubeyir; Aydogdu, Onur; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Yurdalan, S. Ufuk; Polat, M. GuldenPublication 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 Metadata only THE EFFECTS OF KINESIOLOGIC TAPING APPLIED ON QUADRICEPS AND HAMSTRING MUSCLES ON FUNCTIONS OF LOWER EXTREMITY IN PATIENTS WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014) POLAT, MİNE GÜLDEN; Aydogdu, O.; Sari, Z.; Yurdalan, S. U.; Polat, M. G.Publication Open Access A Better Way to Decrease Knee Swelling in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Single-Blind Randomised Controlled Trial(HINDAWI LTD, 2019-05-02) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Sari, Zubeyir; Aydogdu, Onur; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Yurdalan, S. Ufuk; Polat, M. GuldenObjective. In this study, we compared the effects of intermittent pneumatic compression along with conventional treatment with cold-pack treatment along with conventional treatment on clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods. Eighty-nine patients with knee osteoarthritis participated in this study. One group received ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electrical stimulation, exercise, and cold packs. The second group received ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, electrical stimulation, exercise, and intermittent pneumatic compression. Range of motion, muscle strength, knee swelling, pain intensity, and functional status were measured at baseline and 4th week. Results. We found significant improvements in range of motion, muscle strength, pain intensity, and functional status after the treatment in both groups (p<0.05). When comparing the effects of these two treatment programs, it was observed that the intermittent pneumatic compression treatment group had a better outcome in terms of knee swelling (p=0.028). Conclusions. According to the results, we could report that intermittent pneumatic compression therapy in addition to conventional treatment has significant positive effects on clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis. We could also report that intermittent pneumatic compression therapy along with conventional treatment is superior to cold-pack therapy along with conventional treatment in terms of knee swelling in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This trial is registered with NCT03806322.Publication Open Access A BETTER WAY TO DECREASE KNEE SWELLING IN PATIENTS WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS: INTERMITTENT PNEUMATIC COMPRESSION - A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06) DEMİRBÜKEN, İLKŞAN; Sari, Z.; Aydogdu, O.; Demirbuken, I.; Yurdalan, U.

Methods: This study was carried out in the Burn and Wound Treatment Department of Dr. Lutfi Kirdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital in Istanbul between October 2010 and August 2011. A treatment protocol including whirlpool, MRT and exercise was applied to a group of patients who had burn injury of upper extremity. The evaluation of each patient included assessment of pain, range of motion, muscle strength, skin flexibility and sensory function at pre- and post-treatment. Results: There was no significant difference in values of pain, muscle strength and flexibility between pre- and post-treatment assessments (p > 0.05). A significant increase was found in the range of motion and sensory function at pre-treatment according to post-treatment (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The usage of MRT in order to maintain and improve the range of motion and to minimise the development of scar tissue was investigated in this study. We suggest conducting randomised controlled studies that carry out a comparison of the MRT with other treatment modalities with more cases and investigate the long-term effects of MRT.

A sociodemographic data form was filled by all participants. Physical activity levels of the students were evaluatedusing the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Core endurance was measured using anterior and right/left plank tests.Results: The average anterior plank test period of the participants was 77.0±43.8 sec. and the average lateral plank test period was 43.9±28.0 sec.We found that 14.8% (n=46) of the participants were inactive, 48.1% (n=149) were minimally active, and 37.1% (n=115) were very active,according to the IPAQ. According to the IPAQ data, vigorous physical activity, moderate physical activity, and walking variables in maleparticipants were significantly higher than female participants (p<0.05). Plank test periods (anterior and lateral) of participant which have vigorousand moderate physical activity was significantly higher (p<0.05).Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relationship between core endurance and physical activity level. According to this study, physicalactivity is not influenced by core endurance. Particularly, in order to protect or increase the endurance of the core muscles, which have an importantrole in the prevention of mechanical lumbar problems, it was thought that only physical exercises would not be sufficient and it should be performedspecial exercises for these musclesPublication Open Access THE EFFCET OF ADDING WII FIT (R) GAMES TO TRADITIONAL REHABILITATION ON PAIN, QUALITY OF LIFE AND FUNCTIONALITY AFTER ACL RECONSTRUCTION(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06) KAPŞİGAY, BAYRAM; Karakoc, Z.

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.
