    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.

    The application of matrix rhythm therapy as a new clinical modality in burn physiotherapy programmes
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2014) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Sari, Zubeyir; Polat, Mine Gulden; Ozgul, Bahar; Aydogdu, Onur; Camcioglu, Burcu; Acar, Ahmet Hakan; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk
    Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of matrix rhythm therapy (MRT) as one of the electrotherapeutic modalities in clinics. 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.

    Gender and age impact on plantar pressure distribution in early adolescence
    (TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2019-05) ÖZGÜL, BAHAR; Demirbuken, Ilksan; Ozgul, Bahar; Timurtas, Eren; Yurdalan, Saadet Ufuk; Cekin, Murat Dincer; Polat, Mine Gulden
    Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate gender and age effect on dynamic plantar pressure distribution in early adolescence. Methods: A total of 524 adolescents (211 women and 313 men; mean age: 12.58 +/- 1.11 years (range: 11-14 years)) participated in pedobarographic measurements during gait at self-selected speed. Data of peak pressure (PP), maximum force (MaxF-Newton), body weight corrected maximum force (BW_MaxF), contact area (CA-cm(2)) were analyzed for total foot and four plantar regions (hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot and toes). Results: Higher toes PP was found in the ages of 12-14 years in females compared to males (253.79 +/- 104.93 vs 216.00 +/- 81.12 for the age of 12, p = 0.011, 264.40 +/- 65.02 vs 227.21 +/- 83.4 for the age of 13, p = 0.044, 299.75 +/- 140.60 vs 238.75 +/- 103.32 for the age of 14, p = 0.005). Females' higher MaxF especially for toes (136.24 +/- 48.54 vs 115.33 +/- 46.03, p = 0.008) and smaller CA especially for forefoot (50.12 +/- 5.79 vs 54.4893 +/- 6.80, p = 0.001) were considerable in the late of early adolescence. Forefoot (305.66 +/- 82.14 females p = 0.001, 281.35 +/- 79.59 males p < 0.001) and total foot PP (374.08 +/- 113.93 females, p = 0.035, 338.61 +/- 85.85 males p = 0.009) at the age of 14 was significantly higher than in younger ages in both gender groups. Conclusion: The results indicate that especially the age of 14 years in early adolescence is a critical age for alteration in plantar pressure distribution. Interestingly females tended to increase their toe and forefoot plantar pressures compared to males by increasing age. We suggest that gender and age impact on toes plantar pressure alterations in early adolescence may be a possible risk factor for further foot impairments.
